Abstract

Performance Investigation of High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell

Highlights

  • Awareness on energy and climate change has significantly improved

  • This study focuses on the temperature range of near boiling point to determine the effects of these variables on the water distribution profiles of HT-Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) in order to determine the minimum operating temperature at which liquid water evaporates completely

  • The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) HT-PEMFC model was verified on the basis of the comparison between the polarisation curve trend

Summary

Introduction

The development of sustainable energy is directed toward greenhouse effects due to the limited availability of gas emissions and fossil fuels (Carrette et al 2000). Fuel cells have been recognised as a solution to combat greenhouse emission problems (Barbir 2013). Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) feature the advantage as effective sources of power production with attractive energy transformation technologies, low operating temperature, high efficiency, zero emissions, quick start-up time and silent operation (Chen et al 2016). PEMFCs have undergone various investigations and research primarily for commercialisation purposes. These cells feature a large number of different applications that can be categorised into three areas: stationary power, transport and mobile power. Transport applications include motifs for passenger cars, buses and other fuel cell vehicles, special vehicles and material handling tools
