Claim:
1. A flow divider for defining a number of fluid paths in a flow frame of an electrolyte battery flow cell; the flow divider comprising: a long flow channel operably connected to an electrolyte inlet; at least one pair of first level sub-channels operably connected to the at least one long flow channel at a first bifurcation wherein a diameter of the first level sub-channel is less than a diameter of the long flow channel; at least one pair of second level sub-channels operably connected to one of the at least one pair of first level sub-channels at a second bifurcation wherein a diameter of the second level sub-channel is less than a diameter of the first level sub-channel; and at least one pair of third level sub-channels operably connected to one of the at least one pair of second level sub-channels at a third bifurcation, wherein a diameter of the third level sub-channel is less than a diameter of the second level sub-channel.
