Abstract:

The Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) performance is purely depends on the various geometrical and operating parameters. In this study a numerical investigation has been carried out on a single flow channel Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) with an operating cell potential of 0.4V to analyze the various performance and operating characteristics likely current density, anode water concentration, cathode water concentration, cathode oxygen concentration, anode hydrogen concentration, pressure distribution of reactant gases at gas diffusion layer, velocity distribution of reactant gases at gas diffusion layer at an operating temperature of 453K.
