Abstract
A numerical model of flow-through porous electrodes is presented. This model simulates the distribution of potential and current density wit hin a porous electrode. The model includes consideration of the electr on transfer control regime of the electrode reaction, mass transport l imitations and the finite conductivity of the electrode material. The results show an optimum in the total current per unit of projected are a.
