In order to accomplish the objective of studying and optimizing the flow channel geometries and dimensions for high-temperature proton-exchange-membrane (PEM) fuel cells (with operating temperatures above 120°C), a mathematical model has been developed in this work. As the major step of the modeling, the average concentrations of gas species in bulk flows as well as in the layers of electrodes are calculated through mass transfer analysis in one-dimensional direction normal to the membrane-electrodes layers. Therefore, the concentration and activation polarizations are simulated with much less computational work compared to a three-dimensional numerical model. The ohmic loss is taken into consideration through analysis of a representative network circuit simulating the electron and proton conduction in the elements of electrodes and electrolyte, respectively. The simulated results for high-temperature PEM fuel cells were compared with experimental results from literature. The results from the simulation and experimental tests showed good agreement, which validated the mathematical model. As the model requires less computational work, it was used to analyze a large number of cases with different gas flow channel dimensions and operating conditions, and optimization to the dimensions of channels and ribs was accomplished.

“…Other CFD models have been published, as Siegel et al [6] studying the effects of the agglomerate radius and catalyst loading on fuel cell's performance [7], showing a good comparison with the experimental data. Nowadays many authors are concerned with high temperature PEM (HT-PEM) modelling, as presented in the work of Cheddie et al [8][9][10], Lobato et al [11], Shamardina et al [12], Jiao and Li [13] and Jiao et al [14]. However, there are still many challenges to overcome in order to obtain a more reliable and accurate model to analyse and predict the HT-PEM fuel cell response.…”

In the present work two 3‐D models, for the catalytic layer, were employed in order to simulate the responses of a PBI high temperature polymeric membrane fuel cell. The simulations made use of an agglomerate model and a pseudo‐homogenous model, both implemented taking into account the temperature influence over their parameters. The overall simulation was performed also as two models, linked by the variable pressure, one for the whole graphite plate simulating the distribution channels, and the other dealing with the MEA and thereof the catalytic layer. A discussion over the two models was done and the experimental results demonstrated that the pseudo‐homogeneous obtained the better fits.
