in this paper, a non-isothermal two-phase flow in the cathode gas diffusion layer (gdl) of pem fuel cell is modeled. the governing equations including energy, mass and momentum conservation equations are solved by numerical methods. also, the optimal values of the effective parameters such as the electrodes porosity, gas diffusion layer (gdl) thickness and inlet relative humidity are calculated...

carbon molecular sieve membranes (cmsms) have been considered as very promising candidates for gas separation, in terms of separation properties as well as thermal and chemical stability. due to the numerous advantages and wide applications of carbon membranes, their application for gas separation is of special importance. because of the importance of carbon membranes and a large number of stud...

Supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs) has the potential to be a new technological platform for gas/organic vapour separation because of the unique non-volatile nature and discriminating gas dissolution properties of room temperature ionic liquids (ILs). This work starts with an examination of gas dissolution and transport properties in bulk imidazulium cation based ionic liquids [C(n)mim][NT...

CO2 is the main greenhouse gas which causes global climatic changes on larger scale. Many techniques have been utilised to capture CO2. Membrane gas separation is a fast growing CO2 capture technique, particularly gas separation by composite membranes. The separation of CO2 by a membrane is not just a process to physically sieve out of CO2 through the controlled membrane pore size. It mainly de...

Perturbation chromatography with multi component gas carrier and non-equilibrium thermodynamics liner law was applied for discussion of the interference effect and the displacement effect on mass transfer in multi component gas adsorption. Moment analysis method and stop & go simulation method were utilized to obtain each mass transfer parameters of adsorbate gases. Dependency of micropore diff...

For the modeling and simulation of oil recovery from naturally fractured reservoirs during the gas injection process, an accurate value of the molecular diffusion coefficient (MDC) of gases from a gas filled fracture into the oil matrix is essential. During the injection of miscible fluids with oil, transport of the injectant and oil are controlled by fracture and matrix properties. Diffusion i...

TRANSFER OF GASES across the respiratory membrane is limited by either perfusion or diffusion (1). This concept is usually explained in terms of whether a gas reaches its partial pressure equilibrium in the pulmonary capillaries. If it does, the gas is considered to be “perfusion limited,” and if it does not, it is considered to be “diffusion limited.” To facilitate the understanding of this co...

Effect of clamping pressure on electrical resistance between Gas diffusion layer (GDL) and bipolar plate is a very important parameter in Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. For investigation of this matter some researches have been done in these years. But there is not an experimental investigation of clamping pressure effect on PEM electrical resistance. In this paper, some experimenta...
