Thermal analysis of air-cooled PEM fuel cells

Air-cooled proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), having combined air cooling and oxidant supply channels, offer significantly reduced bill of materials and system complexity compared to conventional, water-cooled fuel cells. Thermal management of air-cooled fuel cells is however a major challenge. In the present study, a 3D numerical thermal model is presented to analyze the heat transfer and predict the temperature distribution in air-cooled PEMFCs. Conservation equations of mass, momentum, species, and energy are solved in the oxidant channel, while energy equation is solved in the entire domain, including the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) and bipolar plates. The model is validated with experiments and can reasonably predict the maximum temperature and main temperature gradients in the stack. Large temperature variations are found between the cool incoming air flow and the hot bipolar plates and MEA, and in contrast to water-cooled fuel cells, significant temperature gradients are detected in the flow direction. Furthermore, the air velocity and in-plane thermal conductivity of the plate are found to play an important role in the thermal performance of the stack.

Impinging premixed butane/air circular laminar flame jet--influence of impingement plate on heat transfer characteristics

Experimental studies were performed to study the heat transfer characteristics of an impingement flame jet system consisting of a premixed butane/air circular flame jet impinging vertically upward upon a horizontal rectangular plate at laminar flow condition. There were two impingement plates manufactured with brass and stainless steel respectively used in the present study. The integrated effects of Reynolds number and equivalence ratio of the air/fuel jet, and distance between the nozzle and the plate (i.e. nozzle-to-plate distance) on heat transfer characteristics of the flame jet system had been investigated. The influence in using impingement plate with different thermal conductivities, surface emissivities and roughnesses on heat flux received by the plate was examined via comparison, which had not been reported in previous literatures. A higher resistance to heat transfer had been encountered when the stainless steel impingement plate of lower thermal conductivity was used, which led to a significantly lower heat flux at the stagnation region. However, the heat flux distribution in the wall-jet region of the plate was only slightly affected by using different impingement plates. Because of the significantly lower heat transfer, more fuel was not required to consume and existed at the stagnation region of the stainless steel impingement plate, which would be burned latter in the wall-jet region to release its chemical energy and enhance the local heat flux there.     

Experimental study of heat transfer coefficient with rectangular baffle fin of solar air heater

This paper presents an experimental analysis of a single pass solar air collector with, and without using baffle fin. The heat transfer coefficient between the absorber plate and air can be considerably increased by using artificial roughness on the bottom plate and under the absorber plate of a solar air heater duct. An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effect of roughness and operating parameters on heat transfer. The investigation has covered the range of Reynolds number Re from 1259 to 2517 depending on types of the configuration of the solar collectors. Based on the experimental data, values of Nusselt number Nu have been determined for different values of configurations and operating parameters. To determine the enhancement in heat transfer and increment in thermal efficiency, the values of Nusselt have been compared with those of smooth duct under similar flow conditions.     

Performance prediction of an improved air-cooled steam condenser with deflector under strong wind

For an air-cooled steam condenser (ACSC), environmental wind can cause a large flow rate reduction in the axial fans mainly near the windward side of the air-cooled platform due to cross-flow effects, resulting in a heat transfer reduction. This leads to an increase of turbine back pressure, and occasional turbine trips occur under extremely gusty conditions. A new method is proposed in this paper to remove the strong wind effect by adding deflecting plates under the air-cooled platform, which contributes to forming a uniform air mass flow rate in the axial fans by leading enough cooling air to the fans in the upwind region. Numerical simulation is made of the thermal-flow characteristics and heat transfer performance of the improved ACSC with deflectors. A heat exchanger model is used for simulating the flow and heat transfer in the ACSC, in which the heat exchanger is simplified to a porous medium and all flow losses are taken into account by a viscous and an inertial loss coefficient. A fan model is used for reaching the flow condition at the heat exchanger inlet with the actual performance curves of the fan. It is found that the improved ACSC with deflector shows a significant enhancement in both the cooling air mass flow rate and the heat rejection rate compared with the conventional ACSC. The higher the wind speed is, the larger the heat transfer enhancement of the improved ACSC is. The effect of the plate inclination is also investigated, and the inclination angle of 45° is found to be the optimum value for the arrangement of the deflector.

Heat transfer of a parallel flow two-layered microchannel heat sink

A numerical study is conducted to predict the thermal performance of a parallel flow two-layered microchannel heat sink on heat transfer and compared to the case of counterflow for various channel aspect ratios. Findings reveal that the parallel flow configuration leads to a better heat transfer performance except for high Reynolds number and high channel aspect ratio. Further study on the horizontal rib thickness shows that lower thermal resistance can be achieved in a parallel flow two-layered microchannel heat sink with smaller thickness of middle rib.     

Enhancement of convective heat transfer in an air-cooled heat exchanger using interdigitated impeller blades

The enhancement of convective heat transfer through a finned heat sink using interdigitated impeller blades is presented. The experimentally investigated heat sink is a subcomponent of an unconventional heat exchanger with an integrated fan, designed to meet the challenges of thermal management in compact electronic systems. The close integration of impeller blades with heat transfer surfaces results in a decreased thermal resistance per unit pumping power. The performance of the parallel plate air-cooled heat sink was experimentally characterized and empirically modeled in terms of nondimensional parameters. Dimensionless heat fluxes as high as 48 were measured, which was shown to be about twice the heat transfer rate of a traditional heat sink design using pressure-driven air flow at the same mass flow rate.
