In aluminium manufacturing industries the soderberg pot is widely used. In this process the voltage loss in the electrolyte due to its ohmic resistance (1.3 to 2.0V). This is proportional to the interpolar distance, and inversely proportional to the electrical conductivity of the bath. [1] This paper have carried out the Mathematical Modelling of the Collective Behaviour of CO2 Gas Bubbles under the Anode. Since this relationship is disturbed by an apparent bath resistance caused by the development of gas bubbles at the anode, there are some who extract this contribution as a separate expression from bubble overvoltage with a magnitude of about 0.15 to 0.2V.A gas bubble which evolves on the anode face by an electrolytic process is electrically insulating, blocks this electric current from reaching the anode, and locally arrests electrolysis. To control the growth of bubbles and enhanced the current efficiency with the aid of Computational Fluid Dynamics.(CFD).
