Abstract

The simulated fuel cell has a porous electrode layer, gas flow duct and solid current collector. In terms of friction factor and Nusselt number, the characteristics of gas flow in the duct and heat transfer at heated catalyst surface were investigated by a computational calculation method. The effects of fuel cell current density, permeability of porous diffusion layers on the generation of heat, mass transport process, gas flow and heat transfer were identified and implemented into the modeling.
