Estimation of MEA parameters and prediction of PEM fuel cells electrical performances using numerical modelling
In this paper, a coupled model of transfer phenomena within Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) developed from Stefan-Maxwell (in the diffusion and active layers), Butler-Volmer (in the active layer), and water mass transport (in the electrolyte membrane) equations is presented. This modeling...

Summary: | In this paper, a coupled model of transfer phenomena within Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) developed from Stefan-Maxwell (in the diffusion and active layers), Butler-Volmer (in the active layer), and water mass transport (in the electrolyte membrane) equations is presented. This modeling allows interpreting experimental results, prediction of PEMFC electrical performances and guiding perspective investigations on optimization of PEMFC. The model helps the research of dominating sensitivity parameters, as well as the estimation of some badly known MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly) parameters using fuel cell tests. |
