Electrode Surface Coupling
Use this node to define a flux boundary condition based on current densities of one or multiple Electrode Reaction nodes in an Electrochemistry interface.
The flux is proportional to the current densities and the stoichiometric coefficients according to Faraday’s law as defined by summation over the Reaction Coefficients subnodes. The molar fluxes are multiplied by the species molar masses to obtain the corresponding mass fluxes.
Mass Transfer to Other Phases
When using the Reacting Flow coupling feature to model coupled momentum and mass transport, boundary conditions that results in a nonnegligible mass flux can be consistently handled by accounting for The Stefan Velocity.
Select Account for Stefan velocity to update the Stefan velocity in accordance with the mass flux from the electrode reactions. One example that may benefit from this is when modeling gas diffusion electrodes.
