Development and Validation of an Improved Quasisteady Flow
Parasitic losses change significantly similar to performance when the number of tubes is 20 or less, and the DP leakage loss and HHX flow loss are the key. In other words, a small number of tubes increases the flow resistance of HHX, which increases the DP leakage loss. Here, total parasitic losses are dominated by the DP and PP leakage loss.

Are shunt currents a problem in flow batteries?
Shunt currents are a particularly acute concern in typical flow batteries because very conductive electrolytes circulate through the reactors. Thus, minimizing the deleterious effects of shunt currents is a primary concern of stack designers.
Why is there no net current in a battery?
Recall that no net current crosses either the positive or negative end plates because the battery is at open circuit. The reactions on the negative side of the bottom cell can be regarded as the consequence of the potential profile imposed by the positive electrode on this cell. Figure 6.
