摘要: Abstract In order to reach real operating conditions with consequent organic charge flow, a multi-channel reactor for Microbial Fuel Cells is designed. The feed-through double chamber two-dimensional system four parallel channels and Reticulated Vitreous Carbon as electrodes. Based on thermodynamical calculations, the constructal-inspired distributor optimized aim reduce entropy generation along distributing path. case of negligible singular pressure drops, Hess–Murray law links lengths hydraulic diameters successive reducing ducts leading one given working channel. determination generated in our constructal MFC based global resistance caused by both regular drops. Polarization, power Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy show robustness efficiency cell, therefore potential approach. Routes towards improvements are suggested terms design evolutions.
