膜加湿器是保证质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)正常高效运行的重要组成部分.以燃料电池的板式膜加湿器为研究对象,根据热质交换原理对膜加湿器的传热传质过程进行了理论计算,分析了空气质量流量、膜内加湿侧进口温度和膜内加湿侧进口湿度对传热传质过程的影响.在传热方面:当空气质量流量不同时,随着膜内加湿侧进口温度的变化,膜内的热流量变化趋势不一致;当膜内加湿侧进口相对湿度为95%时,随着空气质量流量的变化,膜内热流量变化不大.在传质方面:当加湿侧进口相对湿度不变时,膜中水传输速率随着空气质量流量的增大而减小;当空气质量流量不变时,膜中水传输速率随着加湿侧进口相对湿度的增大而增大. 相似文献

针对质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)船舶适用性问题,建立船体简谐振动条件下三维单流道PEMFC计算模型,并以计算流体力学为主要研究方法,仿真研究PEMFC在船体简谐振动情况下的动态性能变化,并通过组分运输过程以及电化学反应对振动条件下PEMFC的动态响应进行内在机制解析。结果表明:简谐振动下PEMFC在经过初始阶段响应后,呈周期性输出规律;船体振动会显著影响PEMFC内部组分传热传质,导致电化学反应无法正常进行,PEMFC性能出现衰变趋势,甚至造成电池饥饿现象;当振幅不变时,振动频率的增大会加剧该现象。 相似文献

The efficiency and lifetime of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system is critically affected by the humidity of incoming gas which should be maintained properly for normal operating conditions. But the experimental characteristics of the humidifier are rarely reported. Water transport through the hydrophilic membrane is a coupled phenomenon of heat and mass transport. In this study, a laboratory scale test bench is designed to investigate the characteristics of water transport through the hydrophilic membrane. The mass transfer capability of the hydrophilic membrane is evaluated over various flow rates, temperature, pressure, and flow arrangements. In the experiment, the test bench is submerged in a constant temperature bath in order to isolate the effect of temperature variation between dry air and humid air. The results show the water transport of the hydrophilic membrane is significantly affected by operating temperature and operating pressure. Additionally, the flow arrangement demonstrates a minor effect but it should be considered along with the heat transfer effect. 相似文献

A two-dimensional, steady state model for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is presented. The model is used to describe the effect operation conditions (current density, pressure and water content) on the water transport, ohmic resistance and water distribution in the membrane and performance of PEMFC. This model considers the transport of species and water along the porous media: gas diffusion layers (GDL) anode and cathode, and the membrane of PEMFC fuel cell. 相似文献

Heat transfer in a PEMFC flow channel 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A numerical method was applied to the heat transfer performance in the flow channel for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) using the finite element method (FEM). The heat transfer enhancement has been analyzed by transversely installing a baffle plate and a rectangular cylinder to manage flow pattern in the flow channel of the fuel cell. Case studies include baffle plates (gap ratios from 00.05 to 0.2) and the rectangular cylinder (width-to-height ratios from 0.66 to 1.66 with a constant gap ratio of 0.2; various gap ratios from 0.05 to 0.3 with a constant width-to-height ratio 1.0) at constant Reynolds number. The results show that the transverse installation of a baffle plate and a rectangular cylinder in the flow channel can effectively enhance the local heat transfer performance of a PEMFC. The installation of a rectangular cylinder has a better effective heat transfer performance than a baffle plate; the larger the width of the cylinder is the better effective heat transfer performance becomes. 相似文献

Sloping baffle plates are installed numerically in the flow channel of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) to promote the mass transport in the porous electrode and the fuel cell performance. The sloping angle of baffle plate on the mass transport and performance of PEMFC are investigated and optimized. The numerical results show that the sloping angle of baffle plate influences the velocity distribution, flow resistance in the flow channel, and the intensity of mass transport between the channel and porous electrode. Larger sloping angle increases the velocity in the vertical direction which brings stronger squeeze effect between the channel and porous electrode, but it also reduces the squeeze area and increases the flow resistance. An optimization for the sloping angle of baffle plate is carried out. The baffle plate with the sloping angle of 45° shows the best performance in PEMFC net power considering the pumping power caused by the pressure loss. The effect of the baffle plate number is also investigated and optimized. The fuel cell current density increases with the baffle plate number, but the increment rate is decreased. The pumping power increases almost linearly with the baffle plate number. The PEMFC with six sloping baffle plates installed in the channel is found to be optimal in terms of the net power. 相似文献

This study performs numerical simulations to investigate the effects of buoyancy on the gas flow characteristics, temperature distribution, electrochemical reaction efficiency and electrical performance of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with a novel wave-like gas flow channel design. In general, the simulation results show that compared to the straight geometry of a conventional gas flow channel, the wave-like configuration enhances the transport through the porous layer and improves the temperature distribution within the channel. As a result, the PEMFC has an improved fuel utilization efficiency and an enhanced heat transfer performance. It is found that the buoyancy effect increases the velocity of the reactant fuel gases in both the vertical and the horizontal directions. This increases the rate at which the oxygen gas is consumed in the fuel cell but improves the electrical performance of the PEMFC. The results show that compared to the conventional straight gas flow channel, the wave-like gas flow channel increases the output voltage and improves the maximum power density by approximately 39.5%. 相似文献

A 3D numerical model of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with the installation of baffle plates is developed. The majority of the conservation equations and physical parameters are implemented through the user defined functions (UDFs) in the FLUENT software. The characteristics of mass transport and performance of PEMFC are investigated. The results reveal that the baffle plate can enhance the mass transport efficiency and the performance of PEMFC. The baffle plate installed in the PEMFC flow channel increases the local gas velocity, which can promote the reactant gas transport and the liquid water removal in the porous electrode. As a result, the reactant gas concentration is larger in the porous electrode, which enhances the fuel cell performance for decreasing the over-potential of concentration. The fuel cell output power increases with the blockage ratio of the baffle plate. Considering the extra pumping power resulted from pressure loss caused by the baffle plate, the fuel cell with the blockage ratio of 0.8 is found to perform best in terms of the fuel cell net power generation. The fuel cell performance increases first with the baffle plate number, due to the better reactant distribution and water management, but decreases when the baffle plate number is too large, due to the excessive blockage for the reactant gas transport to the channel downstream. The PEMFC investigated with 5 baffle plates in the channel is found to be optimal. A channel design to achieve gradually increasing blockage ratios is also proposed, which exhibits better cell performance than the design with even blockage ratios. 相似文献

In the present work, a numerical study of heat and mass transfer within the membrane of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is presented. The electrolyte membrane is considered an isotropic porous medium and ideal insulator for electrons and reactants. The adopted model in this study is based on the assumption of single-phase and multi-spices flow, supposed two-dimensional and unsteady. For the water transport, the major considered forces are; the convective force, resulting from the pressure gradient, the osmotic force, due to the concentration gradient and the electric force caused by the proton migration from the anode to the cathode. Based on a one-dimensional model, found in the literature, a transient two-dimensional one was proposed. The set of governing equations, written in velocity–pressure formulation, is solved by the implicit finite difference method. An alternating Direct Implicit scheme was used for the calculation. The numerical resolution gives the time- and space-dependent temperature and water concentration. The main focus lies on the influence of different cases of boundary conditions on water concentration and heat transfer variation with the intention of testing the reliability of the proposed computational fluid dynamic (CFD) code. 相似文献
