Numerical simulation of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell

It was found that there exists a certain range of current densities that enable the fuel cell to operate without the need for external water addition. A study of the effect of operating conditions on this range was carried out. The model predicts that an increased cell operating temperature and cath...

Description
Summary:It was found that there exists a certain range of current densities that enable the fuel cell to operate without the need for external water addition. A study of the effect of operating conditions on this range was carried out. The model predicts that an increased cell operating temperature and cathode/anode pressure differential shifts this current density range.
