Abstract
The effect of uniform constant magnetic fields on free-convective ion transport in magnetoelectrolytic cells employing parallel vertical pla te electrodes has been investigated in experiments with CuSO4/H2SO4 an d K3Fe(CN)(6)/K4Fe(CN)(6)/KOH electrolytes. A modified free-convective diffusion model, developed from fundamental principles of magnetohydr odynamics and classical convective diffusion theory, offers a reasonab le approximation to experimentally observed transport rates in horizon tal magnetic fields.
