Mathematical Modeling of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell

Dynamic investigation of hydrocarbon proton exchange membrane Fuel Cell

Sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK) is categorized in a nonfluorinated aromatic hydrocarbon proton exchange membrane (PEM) group and considered as a suitable substitute for common per-fluorinated membranes, such as Nafion, due to wider operating temperature, less feed gas crossover, and lower cost. Since modeling results in a better understanding of a phenomenon, in this study a dynamic o...

An analytic model of membrane humidifier for proton exchange membrane fuel cell

An essential requirement for an operating PEM fuel cell is providing proper water content in the membrane. To avoid water flooding an appropriate water balance is required. Here, an analytic model of a planar membrane humidifier for PEM fuel cell is proposed where the effect of dimensional parameters includes membrane thickness, membrane area and channel hydraulic diameter are investigated. A N...

Neural Network Modeling for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC)

This paper presents the artificial intelligence techniques to control a proton exchange membrane fuel cell system process using particularly a methodology of dynamic neural network. The focus of this study is to derive a non-parametric empirical model. Also it will include process variations to estimate the performance of fuel cells without extensive calculations. The ANN model has been validat...

Numerical 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...
