Abstract

Computer codes stand built and practiced on water based SiO2 , TiC and SiC nanofluids. The situation visualizes on fuel cell heat management. It evaluates thermal field/contour besides fuel cell temperature. Ultimately, for all the quoted nanofluids, the fuel cells temperatures remain quite below the critical breakdown value of 356 K. Furthermore, for all the quoted nanofluids, the thermal fields/contours range between fuel cells edges and ambient values. Despite the resemblances in thermal fields/contours, the dissimilarities are in consequence of the deviances in thermophysical properties of enumerated nanomaterials. Besides, fuel cell temperatures of 342 K, 313 K and 322 K are observed with water based SiO2 , TiC and SiC nanofluids, respectively. In addition, the water based TiC nanofluid extracts optimum fuel cell heat management. Because, the water based TiC nanofluid also remains with the smallest resulting fuel cell temperature of 313 K.
