Numerical Simulation of Transient Response of Inlet Relative Humidity for High Temperature PEM Fuel Cells with Material Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

High temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) have been drawing much attention due to their easy water management and other advantages. A three-dimensional non-isothermal transient model of HT-PEMFCs with phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane is developed in this study. The inlet relative humidity (RH) is considered for the membrane conductivity in the model. The effect of inlet RH on the transient response of the cell is discussed and the results show that the increase of inlet RH had positive effect on cell performance but negative effect on transient response.
