چکیده
Objectives • Research, develop, assemble, and test a 50 kW net polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack system comprised of a PEM fuel cell stack and the supporting gas, thermal, and water management subsystems. The PEM fuel cell stack system will be capable of integration with at least one of the fuel processors currently under development by Hydrogen Burner Technology (HBT) and Arthur D. Little, Inc.

Energy Management Simulation in a PEM Fuel Cell System
In this research the simulation of an air independent Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) propulsion system was taken into consideration. The system consists of several parts including PEM fuel cell stack, metal hydride and liquid oxygen (LOX) tanks, and also pre-heaters of oxygen and hydrogen gases along with other heat exchangers, to ensure proper operation of system. The heat recovery...
متن کاملExperimental Study on a 1000W Dead-End H2/O2 PEM Fuel Cell Stack with Cascade Type for Improving Fuel Utilization
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) with a dead-ended anode and cathode can obtain high hydrogen and oxygen utilization by a comparatively simple system. Nevertheless, the accumulation of the water in the anode and cathode channels might cause a local fuel starvation degrading the performance and durability of PEMFCs. In this study, a brand new design for a polymer electrolyte membrane...

متن کاملModeling and simulation of a new architecure stack applied on the PEM Fuel Cell
To simulate a new economical architecture for PEM fuel cell and investigate the effectiveness of the introduced structure on the performance, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code is used to solve the equations for a single domain of the cell namely: the flow field, the mass conservation, the energy conservation, the species transport, and the electric/ionic fields under the assumptions of st...
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...
