Effect of CO in the reformatted fuel on the performance of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell
There are several obstacles to the commercialization of PEM fuel cells. One of the reasons is that the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) in the reformatted fuel, even at a very small scale, decreases the fuel cell performance. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of CO in reformatted fuel on PEM fuel cell performance. For this purpose, a steady state, one-dimensional and non-isoth...
متن کاملEffect of Sealing Gas Washer Design on a PEM Stack Fuel Cell Performance
In this paper we study the performance of a PEM stack fuel cell after 900 hours of operation. We tried to identify any voltage degradation and its causes. Microscopic cracks on some parts of MEA mainly due to uniformity of pressure, stress concentration and elongation of membrane in the edge of GDL has been identified as the most important cause of this gradual degradation. High contact resista...
متن کاملPEM fuel cell electrodes
The design of electrodes for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) is a delicate balancing of transport media. Conductance of gas, electrons, and protons must be optimized to provide efficient transport to and from the electrochemical reactions. This is accomplished through careful consideration of the volume of conducting media required by each phase and the distribution of the respe...
متن کاملNumerical study on the performance prediction of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell
An electrochemical analysis on a single channel PEM fuel cell was carried out by Computational Fuel Cell Dynamics (CFCD). The objective was to assess the latest developments regarding the effects of change in the current collector materials, porosity of electrodes and gas diffusion layer on the fuel cell power density. Graphite, as the most applicable current collector material, was applied fol...
متن کاملParametric study of the influence of cooling channel dimensions on PEM fuel cell thermal performance
In a polymer membrane fuel cell more than half of the chemical energy of hydrogen is converted to heat during generation of electricity. This causes an increase in the cell temperature. The Cooling field design has a significant role in cell cooling. The cell's performance and stability are reduced due to inappropriate heat dissipation. In this paper, the cooling flow and heat transfer in cooli...
