The invention relates to a device for producing and simulating two-phase flows. The device is at least partially transparent, thereby allowing observation of the interior of the device. Two-phase flows, such as occur for example in fuel cells, heat exchangers or other chemical or electrochemical reactors can be easily simulated if such a device forms part of a fuel cell, a heat exchanger or another reactor. The invention further relates to a method for producing and simulating two-phase flows in an electrochemical or chemical reactor, such as fuel cells, comprising the following steps: introducing a gas-emitting solution into an at least partially transparent device that comprises means for producing two-phase flows, and producing and recording the two-phase flow.
A device for simulating a two-phase flow whereby the device is at least partly transparent and for generating the two-phase flow encompasses distributor structures for the liquid and gas, characterized by at least one catalyst or producing gas from a gas-liberating solution.
The device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by distributor structures in the form of manifolds, channels and ribs.
The device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by platinum-ruthenium as the catalyst.
