Abstract:Temperature distribution,
mass transport, and current density are
crucial parameters to characterize the durability and output performance
of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), which are affected
by thermal contact resistance (TCR) and gas diffusion layer (GDL)
face permeability within both cathode and anode GDL porous jumps.
This study examined the effects of TCR and GDL face permeability on
a single PEM fuel cell’s temperature profiles, mass transport,
and cell performance using a three-dimensional,… Show more
