摘要: Abstract The present study is aimed at integrating a power system for reformer, PrOx and PEM fuel cells using simulation model. A three-dimensional numerical model established predicting the effects of channel patterns inlet outlet manifold configuration with fixed flow rate on reformer. Distributions velocity, gases concentrations current density are predicted, methanol conversion ratios evaluated as well. In addition, mole fraction CO contained removed in reformer reactions, respectively. solution used to improve design both micro cell. Results showed that can be decreased through reaction effectively; furthermore, ratio concentration hydrogen improved from 83% 99% 67.11% 74.4%, Additionally, relative standard deviations velocity channels 58.68% 0.048%, according design; point view cell, high usage obtained z-serpentine pattern. increased by 184% basis steam Design 1 2.
