Electrochemical Production And Corrosion Testing Of Amorphous Ni-P, Jose L. Carbajal, Ralph E. White Jan 1988

Electrochemical Production And Corrosion Testing Of Amorphous Ni-P, Jose L. Carbajal, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

Ni-P alloys were prepared by electrodeposition under different conditions on a rotating disk electrode. A variety of alloys were prepared ranging from Ni-15P to Ni-25P. An indirect reduction of species in solution involving several steps appears to be favored over the direct reduction at the electrode based on the low P content in the alloy. Energy dispersion x-ray microanalysis was used to determine composition of the alloy. Transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction corroborated the amorphous nature of the structure. The physical and chemical homogeneity of the metallic glasses produced electrochemically is substantiated by the absence of electrochemical localized attack. …

A Two-Dimensional Mathematical Model Of A Porous Lead Dioxide Electrode In A Lead-Acid Cell, E. C. Dimpault-Darcy, T. V. Nguyen, Ralph E. White Jan 1988

A Two-Dimensional Mathematical Model Of A Porous Lead Dioxide Electrode In A Lead-Acid Cell, E. C. Dimpault-Darcy, T. V. Nguyen, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A two-dimensional mathematical model is presented for a lead dioxide electrode in a lead-acid cell. It is used to simulate the time dependent behavior of the electrode during discharge. The model contains six dependent variables: the concentration of the acid electrolyte, the porosity, the electrical potentials of the solid and solution phases, and the two directional components of the current density in the electrolyte. The effect of the electrode grid was included by varying the conductivity of the solid. Parameters such as electrode conductivity, electrode dimensions, and temperature are investigated to understand their effects on electrode discharge performance.

Secondary Current Distributions Using Topaz2d And Linear Kinetics, E. C. Dimpault-Darcy, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

Secondary current density distributions are of interest
to cell designers. The purpose of this note is to illustrate
how to use an existing numerical method to determine
these distributions for cells that contain conducting and
nonconducting bodies between the main anode and cathode.


Analysis Of Electrokinetic Data By Parameter Estimation And Model Discrimination Techniques, Prosper K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White Jan 1988

Analysis Of Electrokinetic Data By Parameter Estimation And Model Discrimination Techniques, Prosper K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

An alternative approach to classical methods of electrochemical data analysis is presented. This alternative method is based on nonlinear parameter estimation and model discrimination techniques. The method is used to obtain the relevant kinetic and transport parameters and to elucidate the kinetic mechanism of O2 reduction at carbon and silver electrodes in alkaline electrolytes.


A Mathematical Model For Predicting Cyclic Voltammograms Of Electronically Conductive Polypyrrole, Taewhan Yeu, Trung V. Nguyen, Ralph E. White Jan 1988

A Mathematical Model For Predicting Cyclic Voltammograms Of Electronically Conductive Polypyrrole, Taewhan Yeu, Trung V. Nguyen, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

Polypyrrole is an attractive polymer for use as a high energy density secondary battery because of its potential as an inexpensive, lightweight, and noncorrosive electrode material. A mathematical model to simulate cyclic voltammograms for polypyrrole is presented here. The model is for a conductive porous electrode film on a rotating disk electrode (RDE) and is used to predict the spatial and time dependence of concentration, overpotential, and stored charge profiles within a polypyrrole film. The model includes both faradaic and capacitive charge components in the total current density expression.


Predicting Shunt Currents In Stacks Of Bipolar Plate Cells With Conducting Manifolds, H. S. Burney, Ralph E. White Jan 1988

Predicting Shunt Currents In Stacks Of Bipolar Plate Cells With Conducting Manifolds, H. S. Burney, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A method is presented for predicting shunt currents in stacks of bipolar plate cells with conducting manifolds. The method is based on the requirement that the potential drop through the solution in a manifold be large enough to force current to leave the solution and to enter the conducting manifold. The current that leaves the solution in the manifold enters the conducting manifold at the anode end of the stack and returns to the solution at the cathode end. This could cause catastrophic failure of a manifold.


Oxygen Reduction On Silver In 6.5m Caustic Soda Solution, Prosper K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White Jan 1988

Oxygen Reduction On Silver In 6.5m Caustic Soda Solution, Prosper K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

The cathodic reduction of oxygen in 6.5M membrane-grade caustic soda solution has been studied experimentally at a silver rotating disk electrode at 25°C. The results can be approximated by the parallel mechanism for oxygen reduction with catalytic decomposition of peroxide. Further analysis of this mechanism indicates that the sequential process with catalytic decomposition of peroxide predominates over the direct 4e– process. Direct application of the sequential mechanism to the data indicates that the latter mechanism with catalytic decomposition of peroxide much more accurately reflects the experimental results. The relevant kinetic parameters are calculated on the basis of …


A Mathematical Model For The Electrodeposition Of Alloys On A Rotating Disk Electrode, Shiuan Chen, Ken-Ming Yin, Ralph E. White Jan 1988

A Mathematical Model For The Electrodeposition Of Alloys On A Rotating Disk Electrode, Shiuan Chen, Ken-Ming Yin, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A general multiple electrode reaction model for electrodeposition of alloys on a rotating disk electrode is presented. Included in the model are mass transport equations with the effect of ionic migration, Butler-Volmer kinetic rate expressions, and the mole fractions of the individual components in the solid state. The model shows that the effect of ionic migration is important and that plating variables such as applied potential, pH, and bulk concentration can be included. Two examples (Ni-P and Ru-Ni-P) are used to illustrate the predictions of the model.


Electrodeposition Of Copper-Nickel Alloys From Citrate Solutions On A Rotating Disk Electrode, Ramona Y. Ying, Patrick K. Ng, Z. Mao, Ralph E. White Jan 1988

Electrodeposition Of Copper-Nickel Alloys From Citrate Solutions On A Rotating Disk Electrode, Ramona Y. Ying, Patrick K. Ng, Z. Mao, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A mathematical model is developed to simulate the electrodeposition of Cu-Ni alloy from citrate solutions onto a rotating disk electrode under potentiostatic control. The model includes the influence of diffusion, ionic migration, forced convection, and homogeneous equilibria. The three major electrochemical reactions treated in the model are copper deposition, nickel deposition, and hydrogen evolution. Using experimental parameters when available, the model was fitted and tested against experimentally-obtained results for different bath compositions and operating conditions. The model agreed reasonably well with the experimental results particularly in the codeposition region, –1.0 to –1.2V vs. SCE, where hydrogen evolution is not the …

Surface-To-Surface Transition Via Electromagnetic Coupling Of Coplanar Waveguides, Robert W. Jackson, David W. Matolak Nov 1987

Surface-To-Surface Transition Via Electromagnetic Coupling Of Coplanar Waveguides, Robert W. Jackson, David W. Matolak

Faculty Publications

A transition is investigated which couples coplanar waveguide on one substrate surface (a motherboard) to coplanar waveguide on another substrate surface (a semiconductor chip or subarray) placed above the first. No wire bonds are necessary. A full-wave analysis using coupled line theory is presented and verified experimentally. The use of this transition for coupling to millimeter-wave integrated circuits is discussed.

Integer Squares With Constant Second Difference, Duncan A. Buell Oct 1987

Integer Squares With Constant Second Difference, Duncan A. Buell

Faculty Publications

The problem addressed is this: Do there exist nonconsecutive integers n0, n1, n2, . . ., such that the second differences of the squares of the ni are constant? Specifically, can that constant be equal to 2? A complete characterization of sequences of length four can be given. The question of whether or not sequences of length five exist is still open but the existence or nonexistence of such sequences can be described in a more algorithmic way than the simple statement of the problem.
