expression is: The expression for v is the same as equation 25, although it is not reduced to the more simplified, previous expression. The use of equation 46 to determine the zinc-deposit distribution involved an iter­ ative process. The time used for each iteration was 10 minutes, and the total charge time was set at seven hours. Due to the number of iterations involved, a programmablecalculator {3} was used to perform the calculation. The method of calculation was • The current density, J^-, was calculated at 11 points across the width of the cell, as in previous calculations. • The deposit thickness, 63, was then calculated at these 11 points. • The deposit thicknesses were then subtracted from the inter­ electrode gap, which was initially constant across the width of the cell. • These numbers provided the new inter-electrode gap across the cell for the next time iteration. • The zinc-electrode resistivity-thickness ratio, PZ/<5Z, was calculated in the case where the resistance presented by the zinc electrode was included. • This process was repeated until a total charge time of seven hours was accumulated. The resulting zinc-deposit distribution for the case where the equipotential zinc electrode surface is assumed is shown in Figure 31-12. The thickness variation across the cell was found to be 20.9%. As expected, the variation in zinc thick­ ness was greater than the instantaneous current-density distribution, 18.9%, cal­ culated previously. Upon investigation of the last 10 minutes of the seven-hour charge, the current-density distribution was found to be 23.1%. This represents a 22.2% increase in the current-density variation over the charge period. The growth rate of zinc deposition was also investigated. The growth rate at the chlorine-bus side of the cell as a function of time is shown in Figure 31-13. This represents the worst case, as the zinc-deposit thickness is greatest at this point. As indicated from the graph, the change in the zinc-deposit growth rate with time is substantially linear. 31-22
