Dynamic modeling and experimental investigation of a high temperature PEM fuel cell stack

Dynamic modeling and experimental investigation of a high temperature PEM fuel cell stack

High temperature polymer fuel cells operating at 100 to 200C require simple fuel processing and produce high quality heat that can integrate well with domestic heating systems. Because the transportation of hydrogen is challenging, an alternative option is to reform natural gas on site. This article presents the development of a dynamic model and the comparison with experimental data from a hig...

Modeling and simulation of a new architecure stack applied on the PEM Fuel Cell

To simulate a new economical architecture for PEM fuel cell and investigate the effectiveness of the introduced structure on the performance, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code is used to solve the equations for a single domain of the cell namely: the flow field, the mass conservation, the energy conservation, the species transport, and the electric/ionic fields under the assumptions of st...

Experimental thermal model of a High Temperature Fuel Cell Stack

Three-Dimensional Modeling and Experimental Study of a High Temperature PBI-Based PEM Fuel Cell

This paper investigates the performance of a high temperature proton exchange membrane PEM fuel cell. Both experimental work and numerical simulation are conducted. The high temperature proton exchange membrane is based on polybenzimidazole PBI doped with phosphoric acid. A single cell with triple serpentine flow channels was operated at steady state at various levels of temperature, pressure, ...
