Nonisothermal PEM Fuel Cell

Application ID: 102461


This tutorial models the intercoupled electrochemical reactions, charge and species transport as well as heat transfer in a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell.

For the gas flow fields, straight channels are used on the hydrogen anode side, whereas a mesh structure is used on the air cathode side. The cell is cooled by a cooling fluid, flowing in a separate channel.

Periodic temperature boundary conditions are used for the top and bottom boundaries, thereby emulating a stacked cell configuration. Electroosmotic transport (drag) and permeation of water through the membrane are also included in the model.
