Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Thermodynamic Simulation
The direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is considered a viable power production technology for portable electronics equipment (10’s-100’s watts) and transportation vehicles (10’s-100’s kilowatts). Since methanol is relatively inexpensive and a reformer or other fuel processing equipment is not required for the DMFC, this power system has the potential to be low cost, compact, reliable and fuel eff...
متن کاملLiquid methanol concentration sensors for direct methanol fuel cells
Liquid-fed direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are one of the most promising candidates for portable power electronics and automotive pplications due to their potentially high-energy density, simple storage, and distribution of the fuel. The concentration of methanol in the fuel irculation loop of a DMFC system is an important operating parameter, because it determines the electrical performance...
متن کاملEfficient Parallel Simulation of Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Models
Fuel cells, as highly efficient and environment-friendly power sources, have attracted ever-increasing research and development in the past few decades. Mathematical modeling and simulation are applied to examine the influence of the different physical and electrochemical phenomena occurring in the structure of the fuel cell during operation. Such simulation programs take a very long time (of t...
متن کاملSilicon-based Proton Exchange Membrane for Micro Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
This paper presents our research on silicon-based proton exchange membranes for siliconbased micro fuel cell applications. The porous silicon membranes with a thickness of 20-40 m were fabricated. And the porous silicon-based proton exchange membranes were formed by using the combination of the porous silicon membranes and Nafion solution. The proton conductivities of the porous silicon-based P...
متن کاملDesign of a New Micro Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Using MEMS Technology
In this paper, a special micro DMFC using MEMS technology is designed to work in a circumrotating condition, which providing power using inertia over-load. The designed cell is a cylinder, anode channel is inside, cathode is outside and exposes to the air. When the overload exceeds the critical value, the liquid inside reserve tank will splash and comes into the two electrodes, and then the cel...
