In this study, the effect of flow of the electrolyte on an electrolysis cell and a zinc cell is
investigated. The gain of energy brought by the flow is discussed and compared to the
viscous losses in the cells. We point out that the balance between the gained electrical
power and the viscous loss power is positive only if the hydrodynamic resistance of the
circuit is correctly designed and further comment on the economical viability of the whole
process. A model of the studied phenomena is proposed in the last section. This analytical …
