K. Kim et Tz. Fahidy, AN ANALYSIS OF FREE-CONVECTIVE MAGNETOELECTROLYSIS IN CONSTANT MAGNETIC-FIELDS, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 142(12), 1995, pp. 4196-4204
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.
