MODELING ELECTRODE-REACTIONS USING THE STRONGLY IMPLICIT PROCEDURE

The strongly implicit procedure is shown to be an easy-to-use stable, rapid and computationally efficient method of solving the coupled mass transport equations which describe complex electrode reactions involv ing diffusion, convection and homogeneous chemical steps. The method i s illustrated with a diversity of problems pertaining to both microele ctrodes and electrodes of conventional dimensions located in a rectang ular channel through which electrolyte is pumped under laminar conditi ons. In all cases excellent agreement with experiment and/or existing analytical or numerical theory is noted.
