The flow of water through the micropore system of activated carbon has been described in previous papers as a hydrodynamic flow of liquid water under high pressure gradients due to surface forces. It is shown below that these high pressures are probably real and that the temperature coefficient of the flow rate is closely related to the temperature coefficient of the viscosity of liquid water. Surface tension is discussed.
