Understanding multiphase flow close to the electrode surface is crucial to the design of electrolyzers, such as alkaline water electrolyzers for the production of green hydrogen. Vertical electrodes develop a narrow gas plume near their surface. We apply the integral method to th

Multiphase Flow Modelling of Electrochemical Systems
An analytical approach
The primary objective of this work is to provide new analytical models to support the theoretical understanding of multiphase flows in various electrochemical systems. Most of the previous works in this field use either experiments or numerical simulations to understand the hydro

Membraneless parallel-plate electrolyzers use electrolyte flow to avoid product crossover. Using a mixture model neglecting inertia, and assuming an exponential gas fraction profile, we derive approximate analytical expressions for the velocity profile and pressure drop for thin

The diffusion layer is a crucial part of most fuel cells and electrolyzers. We analytically solve a simplified set of visco-capillary equations for the gas and liquid saturation profiles inside such layers. Contrary to existing numerical simulations, this approach allows us to ob

Flow-through electrolyzers, with flow parallel to the current, are used in a wide range of industrial applications. The presence of flow avoids concentration gradients but can also be used to separate evolved gases, allowing membrane-less operation. In this work, we propose a sim

Mathematical as well as numerical modelling of a reheating furnace is a difficult task because of the complexity in geometry as well as the involved heat transfer and combustion phenomena. The complexity is further aggravated by the presence of discrete coal particle combustion a

Vibration-based energy harvesting has been investigated in this paper with the goal to utilize the ambient vibration energy to power small electronic components by converting vibration energy into electrical energy. A simply supported beam with a bonded high density piezoelectric
