Default Re: Why does my math not jive with 720 Calculator?

Hmmmm....Well, I am using a more concentrated electrolyte. 9.4% acid by volume if I recall (been a really long day) but then again, I run with a current density of 12 ASF. It is my understanding that this electrolyte and this current density work well together (and I have had really good results time after time). I realize that this current density is not considered LCD, however, the formula that the 720 calculator uses to calculate PAR should still be the same even with high current densities. One question, when using an electrolyte with an acid concentration of 9.4% by volume, will the 0.95 Ohms that the 720 calculator uses as the constant value for resistance remain the same or will the resistance change with a different acid concentration? If it changes, does anyone know off hand what the resistance would be in a tank with a 9.4% acid concentration, operated at 70F with a current density of 12 ASF?

Thanks again all...Trying to calculating PAR is giving me a headache (and I only want to know how to calculate it out of pure intrest...Go figure!)
