Gas consist hydrogen leakage detector safety ...

The amount of current density produced by the stack is the key performance parameter for a fuel cell, given a well-defined quantity of reactants flowing through it. A Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) distributed parameters model is considered with all the aspects influencing the cell behavior. A sensitivity analysis is performed through a Monte Carlo Simulation to assess the impact on...

the present paper explores the impact of an on-board hydrogen harvesting system (fuel reformer) on the overall efficiency of a fuel-cell powered vehicle. various methods of hydrogen production for automotive applications have been discussed first. as the hydrogen production is one of the major challenges for application of proton exchange membrane (pem) fuel cells, especially in vehicular indus...

a three dimensional, compressible, steady, one phase flow of reactant-product mixture in the air side electrode of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (pemfc) is numerically studied in this paper. the mixture is composed of three species: oxygen, nitrogen and water vapor. the performance of the cell is enhanced by partial blockage of the flow field channels. various types of these blocks also ca...

This article introduces a dynamic semiempirical model that predicts the degradation of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) by introducing time-based terms in model. The concentration voltage drop is calculated using new statistical equation based on load current and working time, whereas ohmic activation drops are updated equations borrowed from existing literature. Furthermore, develope...
