The optimization of an electrochemical reactor calls for a full description of the process to accomplish the specific objective of the mass and the energy balances together with heat transfer considerations and thermodynamic and enthalpy changes that are related to the unit cell and the whole stack [1,2]. A full description of the kinetics of both processes, the electric properties of the cell components, and the hydrodynamic aspects of the entire cell is also required.
