Current density, calculation

Fig. 5. Computed map of the 77 current density calculated in the ipsocentric approach for pentalene optimised at the RHF/6-31G level [14c]. Arrows show the projection of the current density induced by unit perpendicular magnetic field in the plane 1 bohr above the molecule. The clockwise sense indicates paramagnetic (anti-Lenz) circulation.

The logarithmic nature of the current density axis amplifies errors in extrapolation. A poor selection of the slope to be used can change the corrosion current density calculated by a factor of 5 to 10. Two rules of thumb should be applied when using Tafel extrapolation. For an accurate extrapolation, at least one of the branches of the polarization curve should exhibit Tafel (i.e., linear on semiloga-rithmic scale) over at least one decade of current density. In addition, the extrapolation should start at least 50 to 100 mV away from Ec[Pg.45]

The details of the numerical solution and the moving boundary scheme are described in reference [63]. The boundary element method involving quadratic elements was used, and the electrode boundary nodes were moved in proportion to the local current density calculated at each time step. 

The use of baths with different ratios between the nickel and tungstate ions allowed concluding that the ion that is the minority component controls the rate of deposition of W. The current density calculated for deposition of tungsten was much lower than that expected, if WO4 had been the electro-active species, indicating that either the formation of the mixed-metal complex or its activation-controlled rate of discharge is the slow process " ... 

The effect of rotation rate was studied in the range of 2,000 to 5,000 rpm, which represents a 90% (= 2.5" ) increase in the rate of mass transport to a RCE. The effect of rotation rate on the deposition process is shown in Fig. 10. As the concentration of WO is increased tenfold, from 0.04 to 0.40 M, the current density increases by a factor of only two. The limiting current density, calculated on the basis of the concentration of WO4 in solution, is much higher than the partial current densities for deposition of this metal, so one would not expect a 40% increase of the rate of deposition of W with the increase of the rate of mass transport, as foimd experimentally. The explanation of these unexpected observations lies in the formation of the mixed-metal complex, as shown in Eq. (33). The concentration of this complex is low, and its rate of formation is also expected to be low. From the dependence of the partial current density for W deposition shown in Fig. 10a, the activation-controlled and the mass transport-limited current densities can be estimated, using the Levich equation, as applied to RCE experiments, namely...

In Table 16.2, different catalysts are compared with respect to their volumetric ORR activity, site density, kinetic current density, and turnover frequency. The knowledge of these different parameters enables the identification of the factors that have to be further optimized. The catalysts are sorted according to their achieved volumetric current density calculated from fuel cell measiu ements (column I, Eq. 16.3). The so far best Fe-N-C catalyst is listed below the DOE-target value followed by the other materials given in the sequence of decreasing volumetric activity. If the authors did not provide any magnitude of the volumetric current density, the value was calculated under the assumption of a catalyst density of p =...

For equilibrium the current flowing along the flowline to either the SPM or the FPS must balance. The currents flowing into or out of the metal surfaces on the SPM and the FPS can be determined by integrating the normal current density calculated by the BE over the... 

The time dependences of the current density calculated by Equation 7.13 are shown in Figures 7.2 and 7.3. The minus sign of Equation 7.13 is due to our choice of the direction of x axis starting at the surface and going to the bulk of the solution.
