Performances prediction study for proton exchange membrane fuel cells

摘要: Abstract In this work, we propose to study the influence of membrane physical properties on performance a single PEM cell through polarization curve. A thermal approach describing main heat transfer aspects was also discussed. For study, have developed and used simulation tool called Performances Prediction Fuel Cell (2PFC tool) based simplified charge, mass even equations. This aims visualize evolutions in heart cell, results should help users understand variation some operating conditions component output voltage by offering variety sensitivity parameter studies. analysis, three separated simulations are launched. The first regards effect resistive losses charge coefficient voltage. second concerns water content temperature it proton conductivity. last takes consideration activity conductivity, proved direct strong relation part, proposed distribution between two cathodes with presence an implemented cooling channel.
