Dear all,

Is there a way to calculate the cell constant of an irregular shaped object using COMSOL?

Thanks,
Daniel

What is a cell constant in your case? The term is sometimes used in the context of electrolytic cells, but you are just talking about an irregular shaped object?

Cheers

Hi Edgar,

Thank you for your reply.

In the electrolysis cell I am studying with, part of the electrolyte has an irregular shape. I already figured out how to calculate the cell constant using the Electric Current mode in COMSOL. The 'effective' cell constant can be calculated by dividing the electric potential drop by the total current and the resistivity of the electrolyte.

Thanks!
Daniel
