An experimental study on moisture transport through a porous plate with micro pores

Moisture Transport Through a Porous Plate with Micro Pores

“…The present authors have investigated moisture transport through a porous plate having a thermal conductivity of 1.7W/(mK) to dry air from constant-temperature water (Wang et al, 2005(Wang et al, , 2006. And the present authors have also investigated the effect of thermal conductivity of the porous plate on the moisture transport (Wang et al, 2009). Here,we will summarize the work done in these previous investigations.…”

Investigation of water transport in fuel cells using water transport plates and solid plates

“…The performance and stability of fuel cell were signicantly improved aer applying porous plate, especially under lower stoichiometry. Wang et al 26,27 studied water and heat transfer through WTP, which aimed at improving water and heat management in fuel cell stacks. Guo et al 28,29 investigated the effects of the WTPs properties on the cell performance and stability.…”

Implementation of a phenomenological evaporation model into a porous network simulation for water management in low temperature fuel cells

“…The transition film model is a highly non-linear third order ordinary differential equation with a free boundary. This type of model is selected due to the large influence that transition liquid films have on evaporation rates for porous and non-porous applications 63,[85][86][87] . The solution is for a steady state condition so it is assumed that between time steps a steady non-deformed liquid surface is obtained.…”
