摘要: Abstract The performance of the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is greatly influenced by various operating parameters and geometric properties. This paper deals with optimization both design namely cell temperature, back pressure, anode cathode inlet velocities, Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) porosity thickness, water mass fraction, flow channel dimensions, rib width porous electrode thickness. Numerical model single PEM fuel was developed analyzed using COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2 software package. in carried out two stages standard orthogonal array Taguchi method. From first stage analysis, it inferred that pressure had maximum effect least on performance. In second fine tuned performed selected factors which caused for 3% increase power density results were also validated 4.2.
