3D Simulations of electric field on 40 kA sodium electrolysis cell

Three-dimensional mathematical model for one quarter groove of 40KA sodium cell was established, based on the feature of its structure. The electric field with apertures drilled at different electrodes, where the slot voltages was analyzed and discussed, was simulated utilizing the features of Finite Element Software ANSYS with multiple attributes. The result provides the theoretical basis for the process optimization and the design of electrolyzer. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
