Abstract
Numerical techniques was used to solve the Laplace’s equation in Dow electrolytic cell, the computation of voltage distribution in anode was carried out by using the method of successive over relaxation finite difference method. The developed finite difference program is constructed to study the effect of various design parameters or operate change on the performance on the anode; performance is judged from the dissipated energy, life time of anode, quantity of magnesium produce. A novel anode design is suggested to minimize the dissipated energy increase the lifetime, and relativity large quantity of magnesium produce.
