Three Dimensional Computational Modeling of Multiphase Flow in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mazaheri, Karim (Supervisor) ; Roshandel, Ramin (Supervisor)
Abstract
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell performance is directly related to the flow channel design on bipolar plates. Power gains can be found by varying the type, size, or arrangement of channels. It has been understood that the flow field design has deterministic role on mass transport and water management in a PEM Fuel cell. This study concentrates on improvements in the fuel cell performance through optimization of channel dimensions and configurations. A 3D, multi-component numerical model of flow distribution based on the Navier-Stokes equations using individual computer code is presented. The simulation results showed excellent agreement with the experimental results in previous...
