Abstract
Integral transform methods are used to obtain analytic solutions for the current density (J) and potential distributions on a disk in an infinite plane for the four limiting cases of: (i) uniform potential disk‐insulating plane; (ii) uniform J disk‐insulating plane; (iii) uniform J disk‐uniform potential plane and; (iv) uniform potential disk‐uniform potential plane. Examples of applications of results are drawn from electrochemical engineering problems related to fuel cell design, corrosion enhancement due to inclusions, and rotating disk systems.
