Abstract
This paper examines the design of an electrolyser model, comparing it with mathematical and experimental models. The model involves passing an electric current through water dissolved with an alkylamine-ethoxylate compound, resulting in the release of oxygen and hydrogen, forming Oxy-hydrogen gas. The gas generation rate of the generated HHO-gas is predicted using the mathematical and experimental models. The experiment investigates factors such as Faraday efficiency, power, compound concentration in water, and hydrogen concentration in HHO-gas at different operating temperatures. The alkylamine ethoxylate is a compound composed of cationic, anionic, and non-anionic surfactants, with a concentration range of 15% to 60%. The model shows a power consumption range of 72% to 88% with operating temperatures of 30 to 80 degrees Celsius. The electrode disc plates have an internal distance of 2.5 mm to 1.2 mm and are connected to a negative and positive terminal. The results show a remarkable level of agreement between the experimental results and the mathematical model, indicating that gas generators consistently provide the specified output across various operational circumstances.
