| Abstract | A thermal model of the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) was developed to investigate the performance of a large active area fuel cell with the water cooling thermal management system. The model includes three sub-models: water transport model, electrochemical reaction model and heat transfer model. The water transport model calculates water distribution and the electric resistance of the membrane electrolyte. The electrochemical reaction model for the agglomerate structure cathode catalyst layer predicts the cathode overpotentials including mass transport limitation effect at high current density region. Two-dimensional heat transfer model incorporated with coolant and gas channels predicts the temperature distribution within the fuel cell. By integrating those sub-models, local electric resistance and overpotentials depending on the water and temperature distribution can be predicted. The model was calibrated with published experimental data and sensitivity studies were performed. The effects of the inlet gas temperature and humidity on the fuel cell performance were explored. In addition, the effect of the temperature distribution, and accordingly the electric resistance distribution within the fuel cell depending on the coolant temperature and flowrate was investigated. The results shows that the change in the local electric resistance due to temperature distribution eventually causes fuel cell power decrease and it is also concluded that the coolant temperature and flowrate should be controlled properly depending on the operating conditions in order to minimize the temperature distribution while maximizing power output of the fuel cell. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
