Abstract: Abstract A simple model for a diaphragm-type chlorine cell is presented and discussed. The model consists of an earlier model with a simple, but important, extension. The extension is the inclusion in the model of a measurable property of the diaphragm, referred to as the MacMullan number (NMac) or resistivity ratio of the electrolyte filled diaphragm relative to the electrolyte (1). It is shown theoretically that the product of NMact and the diaphragm thickness (the “effective” diaphragm thickness, NMact) is actually the important diaphragm characterizing parameter and not NMac or the diaphragm thickness separately.
