Porous Electrode Coupling
Use this node to add a molar source in a domain that is coupled to one or multiple
Porous Electrode Reaction
Electrode Reaction
nodes of an Electrochemistry Interface.
The molar source is calculated from the number of electrons, stoichiometric coefficients, and volumetric current densities of the coupled porous electrode reactions specified in the
Reaction Coefficients
subnodes.
In the Transport of Concentrated Species interface, the molar sources (or sinks) are multiplied by the species molar masses to obtain the corresponding mass sources.
Additional
Reaction Coefficients
subnodes are available from the context menu (right-click the parent node) as well as from the
Physics
toolbar,
Attributes
menu.
Note that if you are also modeling the momentum transport and expect a non-negligible total mass source or sink, which is often the case in gas diffusion electrodes, you need to also add a corresponding Porous Electrode Coupling node in the Fluid Flow interface.
This feature is only available in a limited set of add-on products. See
