摘要: In this work, gas flow and heat transfer have been numerically investigated analyzed for both cathode/anode ducts of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The simulation is conducted by solving a set conservation equations the whole domain consisting porous medium, solid structure, duct. A generalized extended Darcy model employed to investigate inside layer. This accounts boundary-layer development, shear stress, microscopic inertial force as well. Effects coefficient, together with permeability, effective thermal conductivity, thickness layer on are investigated.
