چکیده

Abstract For improved operating conditions of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell, sophisticated water management is crucial. Therefore, it necessary to understand the transport mechanisms throughout cell constituents especially on cathode side, where excess has be removed. Pore-scale modeling diffusion layers and gas distributor been established as favorable technique investigate ongoing processes. Investigating interface between layers, particular challenge combination interaction multi-phase flow in porous material layer (GDL) with free channels. The formation, growth detachment droplets hydrophobic, surface GDL have major influence mass, momentum energy exchange layers. A dynamic pore-network model used describe through pore-scale. To capture droplet occurrence its flow, this two-phase extended formation at well due In article, developed applied single- multi-tube systems general drop behavior. These rather simple test-cases are compared experimental numerical data available literature. Finally, unit analyze channel.

A New Approach for Constructing Pore Network Model of Two Phase Flow in Porous Media

Development of pore network models for real porous media requires a detailed understanding of physical processes occurring on the microscopic scale and a complete description of porous media morphology. In this study, the microstructure of porous media has been represented by three dimensional networks of interconnected pores and throats which are designed by an object oriented approach. Af...

Genuine Two-Phase Flow Dynamics with a Free Interface Separating Gas-Liquid Mixture from Gas

Abstract. In this work we deal with the no-slip drift-flux model for gas-liquid flow dynamics. We focus on a situation where there is a free interface separating the gas-liquid mixture from a pure gas region which takes a positive pressure p∗. This situation is highly relevant for gas-liquid flow in the context of wellbore operations. Previous works have assumed that there is vacuum, i.e., the ...

Two Phase Flow Pressure Drop Calculation Using Homogeneous Equilibrium Model

Although two-phase flow is frequently encountered in various location of the process plants, there is no a general accepted and verified two-phase flow model that may be used to size lines for such conditions. An obvious example is condensate water return lines. The API method that used in this study is based on the homogeneous equilibrium flow assumption, that is, equal velocity and equal temp...
