Abstract
Optimization of 36cm2 Effective Area on Serpentine Flow Channel of PEMFC
Highlights
The environmental impacts of non-renewable power sources and energy scarcity in many countries, focuses on renewable energy development
The Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) consists of polymer of operating and design parameters of single pass serpentine and interdigitated flow channel with 25 cm2 active area of PEMFC carried out by Lakshminarayanan and Karthikeyan [5]
The results revealed that the maximum power density of interdigitated flow channel with landing to channel width 1:2 showed better performance than the serpentine flow channel with same design parameter
Summary
The environmental impacts of non-renewable power sources and energy scarcity in many countries, focuses on renewable energy development. The PEMFC consists of polymer of operating and design parameters (operating pressure, temperature and inlet mass flow rate of reactant gases and rib to channel width ratio) of single pass serpentine and interdigitated flow channel with 25 cm active area of PEMFC carried out by Lakshminarayanan and Karthikeyan [5]. The various operating parameters like cell temperature, pressure, reactants on anode and cathode flow rate has been investigated with triangular channel geometry on 25 cm active area of PEMFC by Khazaee et al [6]. This paper has a detailed study about the optimization of operating pressure, temperature, stoichiometric ratio of inlet reactant mass flow rate and various rib to channel width (L:C)-1:1,1:2, 2:1& 2:2 on serpentine flow channel of 36 cm active area of PEM fuel cell are to be studied and influence their performance are compared
