Building a Micro DMFC Design
This blog post includes a quick fuel cell introduction, parts list and design for a 1 cm x 1 cm (active area) fuel cell. This summary was put together... Read more
Model Validation Using Residuals
Model validation is the most important step in the model building process; however, it is often neglected. Even when the model is validated, it is oft... Read more
Transport Phenomena in Micro and MEMs Fuel Cells
As fuel cell size decreases, the transport phenomena of the fuels and water changes in the fuel cell. In standard fuel cell designs, the movement of f... Read more
The Effect of Clamping Pressure on Fuel Cell Performance
There are many steps involved in the manufacturing of a fuel cell stack. One of these steps is the hot pressing of the polymer electrolyte membrane to... Read more
Mathematical Models
Mathematical models are a precise description of a problem, process, or technology in the form of mathematics. These models are built to learn more ab... Read more
Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) Characterization
Selecting the appropriate technique to properly characterize the fuel cell is extremely important because it helps the user to understand why the fuel... Read more
How to Build a Fuel Cell
The first step in building a fuel cell is to determine the power requirements needed to power the particular device or application. Fuel cells can be ... Read more
Fuel Cell Stack Temperature in Mid-to-High Temperature Fuel Cells
There is an acute need for the development of long-lasting, efficient and portable power sources for further technology improvement in automobiles, co... Read more
Flow-Field Design
In fuel cells, the flow field plates are designed to provide an adequate amount of the reactants (hydrogen and oxygen) to the gas diffusion layer (GDL... Read more
Low-Temperature Bipolar Plates
Each component of the fuel cell must be designed properly – otherwise, you run the risk of decreasing fuel cell performance. The bipolar plates are te... Read more
Water Management For PEM Fuel Cells
One of the greatest challenges associated with PEMFCs is the water balance in the fuel cell stack. As the chemical reaction occurs in each cell, water... Read more
Fuel Cell System Design
Fuel cell system designs range from very simple to very complex depending upon the fuel cell application and the system efficiency desired. A fuel cel... Read more
Considerations for Fuel Cell Design
When you first consider your fuel cell stack design, you will need to calculate the following: Stack size Number of cells (MEAs / CCMs) Stack configur... Read more
Considerations for Micro Electro Mechanical System Fuel Cells
The design elements of a micro or MEMs (Micro Electro Mechanical System) fuel cell stack are the same as a larger fuel cell stack, except that there s... Read more
