Modeling of water transporter in a proton exchange membrane for fuel cell (PEMFC)‎ effect of prosity

Abstract EN

A model of water transport in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is developed.

The model takes into account, diffusion, migration, convection and drags in the membrane phase and considers the membrane as a proton structure a porous structure.

The mathematical model is solved using finite element tool.

In this paper we had calculated and discussed one dimensional distribution of water in the cell with and without porosity.
