چکیده

الکتروویننینگ، فرایند نشاندن یون‌های مس محلول در الکترولیت داخل سلول به روی کاتد توسط ایجاد جریان الکتریکی است. در پژوهش حاضر، با استفاده از شبیه‌سازی سلول الکتروویننینگ مجتمع مس میدوک به بررسی ضریب انتقال جرم روی تمام سطح کاتد پرداخته شده است. شبیه‌سازی این سلول‌ها با استفاده از دینامیک سیالات و نرم‌افزار انسیس‌سی‌اف‌ایکس انجام شده است. تعداد 11 معادله دیفرانسیل جزئی سیالاتی با شرایط مرزی خاص توسط این نرم‌افزار حل شده است. مقدار ضریب انتقال جرم کاتد در سلول واقعی مس باشبیه سازی مقایسه شد. نتایج نشان از اختلاف 9/1 درصدی مقدار واقعی در مس میدوک و مقدار مدل‌سازی می‌دهد.
