Simulation Researches of PEMFC Based on ANSYS / FLUENT

Abstract:

The internal mass transfer and the distribution of each component in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), including the hydrogen-oxygen proton exchange membrane fuel cell (H₂-O₂ PEMFC) and direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), have great effects on the life and performance of cell. Simulation with software is one of the most important research methods. In this paper, the recent researches on the working conditions of PEMFC modeled with commercial software ANSYS / FLUENT are summarized, and on the basis, new visions for further study about abnormal fuel cells are brought forward.
