In fermentative hydrogen production [5-8]. this paper differential-algebraic equation (DAE) model of a MEC In the MEC systems, bacteria oxidize organic matter, with an algebraic constraint on current was studied, simulated which releases protons into solution and electrons to anode and validated by implementing the model on continuous-flow [9]. Then the released electrons to anode flows through an MECs. Then sensitivity analysis for the system was effectuated. external electrical circuit to the cathode where they react with Parameters which have the predominating influence on the current density and hydrogen production rate were defined. This the protons to form hydrogen. sensitivity analysis was utilized in modeling and validation of the For instance, if a substrate of (1 M) acetate is used, the batch-cycle of MEC. After that parameters which have less MEC reactions will be: influence TI - A Reduced Model for Microbial Electrolysis Cells JF - Regular Issue DO - 10.35940/ijitee.d1613.029420 DA - 2020-02-10 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/a-reduced-model-for-microbial-electrolysis-cells-2mq3uX5NpT DP - DeepDyve ER -
