A 3D volume of fluid (VOF) model for an anode channel in a PEM fuel cell has been built. The effects of the initial position of the water droplet, its size as well as the wettability of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) are investigated under different o...

The mathematical formulation of the models of the air-breathing polymer-electrolyte-membrane (PEM) fuel cells is similar to that of the conventional PEM fuel cells. The only difference between the two formulations lies in how the boundary conditions... Read More about Modeling of portable fuel cells.

A comprehensive 3D, multiphase, and nonisothermal model for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell has been developed in this study. The model has been used to investigate the effects of the size of the parallel-type cathode flow channel on the fuel ce...

Water flooding and membrane dry-out are two major issues that could be very detrimental to the performance and/or durability of the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The above two phenomena are well-related to the distributions of and the in... Read More about Simultaneous thermal and visual imaging of liquid water of the PEM fuel cell flow channels.
