摘要
A computational model is presented, which enables the identification of those zones endangered by corrosion in a bipolar electrolysis cell stack. The method consists of two steps: first the potential profile in the electrolyser is computed by numerical solution of the Laplace equation using the finite difference method; then, making use of the Criss-Cobble correspondence principle, this profile is related to the potential-dependent thermodynamic stabilities of the respective metals. This may be a useful tool in the design of intermittently operating electrolysers (for example those powered by solar energy). © 1990 Chapman and Hall Ltd.
