On the relative influence of convection in serpentine flow fields of PEM fuel cells
In polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, power losses associated with slow reaction kinetics and mass-transport limits can be strongly nfluenced by convective flow characteristics. Specifically, convection in the form of channel bypass may be utilized to simultaneously increase eactant concentration and reduce product concentration in the catalyst layer, thus reducing the activation and mass...
متن کاملNumerical Computation Of Multi-Component Two-Phase Flow in Cathode Of PEM Fuel Cells
A two-dimensional, unsteady, isothermal and two-phase flow of reactant-product mixture in the air-side electrode of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) is studied numerically in the present study. The mixture is composed of oxygen, nitrogen, liquid water and water vapor. The governing equations are two species conservation, a single momentum equation for mobile mixture, liquid mass cons...
متن کاملFlow Structures and Frictional Characteristics on Two-phase Flow in Microchannels in Pem Fuel Cells
This experimental paper presents a study of gas-liquid two phase flow in rectangular channels of 500μm x 45μm and 23.7mm long with different wall conditions of hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface, in order to investigate the flow structures and the corresponding friction factors of simulated microchannels of PEMFC. The main flow in the channel is air and liquid water is injected at a single or ...
متن کاملHeat Transfer in Three-Dimensional Flow along a Porous Plate
An analysis of heat transfer in the flow of a viscous, in-compressible fluid along an infinite porous plate is presented when the plate is subjected to a transverse sinusoidal suction. The flow field becomes three-dimensional due to this type of suction velocity. Expressions for the flow and temperature fields are obtained by series expansion method. It is found during the course of discussion ...
