The volume fraction of gas bubbles in a vertical cell with a separator was evaluated on the basis of the Bruggemann equation by taking into account the increase in velocity of the rising gas bubbles when fresh solution without gas bubbles is supplied to the bottom of the cell at constant velocity. This enhancement of the velocity results from an increase in the volume of gases evolving at the working electrode. The following three cases for overpotential at the working electrode were considered: no overpotential, overpotential of the linear type and of the Butler-Volmer type. The volume fraction, εh, at the top of the cell was expressed as a function of the dimensionless height of the cell and kinetic parameters. The total cell resistance can be expressed by {(2/5εh)[1−εh)−3/2−1+εhD;]+µ}ϱ1d1/wh, where ϱ1is the resistivity of the solution without gas bubbles,d1the interelectrode distance,wthe cell width,hthe cell height and μ the parameter involving overpotential and resistance of the separator. It was found that there is an optimum value of the interelectrode distance. The optimum value is about a quarter of the value for the case of constant gas rise velocity, which corresponds to a closed system.
