Numerical Study of Pressure Drop Mechanism and Cross Flow Behavior in the Gas Channel and Porous Medium of a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell

Numerical Study of Pressure Drop Mechanism and Cross Flow Behavior in the Gas Channel and Porous Medium of a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell

The three-dimensional, transient, isothermal, gas-flow behavior in the serpentine channel and porous gas-diffusion layer (GDL) of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell was investigated numerically. Decreasing the pitch length of the channel increases the pressure drop. In the serpentine channel,...
