To have a uniform distribution of reactants is an advantage to fuel cell. We report results for such distributor with tree-like flow field plates (FFP). Numerical simulations shown that the width scaling parameters patterns in FFPs used polymer electrolyte membrane cells (PEMFC) reduces viscous dissipation channels. In this study, experimental investigations were conducted on 2-layer FF plate p...

<p>PEMFC has high potential for future development due to its energy density, eco-friendliness, and efficiency. When it becomes small, light flexible, can be competitive as an source portable devices or flexible electronic devices. However, the use of hard heavy materials structural rigidity uniform contact pressure transmission become obstacle reducing weight flexibility PEMFCs. This rev...

The Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC), despite being regarded as an ideal replacement to the internal combustion engine, is still not an economically attractive prime-mover due to a number of key challenges that have yet to be fully resolved; such as degradation to cell components resulting in inadequate lifetimes, specialised manufacturing processes and poor gravimetric/volumetric...

A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with both gas distribution flow channels and Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) is developed. A set of conservation equation is numerically solved by developing a CFD code based on the finite volume technique and SIMPLE algorithm. In this research, some parameters like oxygen consumption, water...
