Abstract:
      Flow characteristics of electrolyte in different parallel flow copper electrolytic cells were simulated based on software ANSYS with parallel flow copper electrolytic cell as object. The results show that entering pattern of electrolyte into cells has big influence on flow situation of parallel flow electrolytic between anode plates and cathode plates. Compared with upper interlaced inlet cell, lower interlaced inlet cell has faster refresh velocity and more uniform electrolyte flow field distribution.
