... fuel cell numerical modeling gradient porosity gradient platinum loading water transport fuel cells Low-temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) using anion exchange membranes (AEMs) have attracted attention as a promising alternative to proton exchange membrane fuel cells...

... ], the liquid water transport in the fuel cell was described and investigated by a multiphase mixture model. A numerical model considering the water phase change and swelling of the ionomer was developed and used to optimize the ionomer content by Xing et al. [ 5 ]. In Ref. [ 6 ], recent developments of PEM...

... geometry test cell with serpentine channels and counter flow. Subsequently, the model is applied to explore cell temperature effects in the cell environment with different relative humidity of inlet. The numerical model is validated and agreed well with the experimental data. The nonuniformity of thermal...

...Takafumi Nishino; Hiroshi Iwai; Kenjiro Suzuki A comprehensive numerical model of an indirect internal reforming tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (IIR-T-SOFC) has been developed. Two-dimensional axisymmetry of the velocity, temperature, and mass transfer fields was assumed in the model...
