FLOW FIELD PLATE DESIGN ANALYSIS WITH CROSS-SECTION WAVE RECTANGULAR SERPENTINE USING 3D FLOW SIMULATION ON PROTON EXCHANGE MEMBRANE FUEL CELL

The availability of petroleum which continues to decrease and the level public consumption is always increasing are serious problems today. Renewable energy needs be researched on an ongoing basis anticipate above. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) environmentally friendly source electrical because it only requires hydrogen oxygen as raw materials water a result reaction. This study will discuss PEMFC flow field plate this component dominates weight cost manufacture. Research with wave rectangular cross-section necessary develop concept better performance results. aims determine effect wavy shape distribution channel average speed, outlet inlet pressure, pressure. uses computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method using SolidWorks simulation software. provides overview serpentine type cross-section. has higher velocity, pressure than what make higher. nearly same number pressures Possible development research creation software calculate other parameters that affect performance.
