consider a fuel cell operating at 800 degrees Celcius, and 1 atm. In the cathode, humidified air is supplied with the mole fraction of water vapor equal to 0.1. If the fuel cell employs circular flow channels with a diameter of 1 mm, find the maximum velocity of air that can be used while still maintaining laminar flow.

While performing an experiment with an electrolytic cell (both cathode and anode are zinc in 1 M ZnSO4 solution), with the cathode in a beaker and the anode in a porous cup inside the same beaker? What function does the porous cut perform if ions can still move through it? What is the porous cup separating? If the porous cup were removed (or if there was a hole in it), would the reaction stop? Why?
