A 2D across-the-channel model of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell : water transport and power consumption in the membrane

The anisotropic mass transport issues inside a fuel cell membrane have been studied in this thesis using computer modelling. The polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) conductivity of a PEM fuel cell (PEMFC) depends on the hydration state of the hydrophilic charged sites distributed in the pores of the...
