Electrochemical drilling (ECD) is a complex phenomenon involving two phase fluid dynamics, unsteady state heat transfer, mass transfer, electrochemistry etc. between moving boundaries. Anode (work) shape prediction models, therefore, are complicated and incomplete. These models are incomplete because they ignore the analysis of the stray current attack zone and stagnation zone.A modified anode shape prediction model has been proposed. It predicts the work (anode) profile in all the five zones, i.e, stagnation, front, transition, side, and stray current attack. Comparison of computed and experimental anode profiles reveals a satisfactory agreement between the two.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
