Analysis of Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells by an Extended Darcy Model
By using a three dimensional computational method, gas flow and heat transfer have been investigated and analyzed for both cathode / anode ducts of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. The Brinkman- Forchheimer-extended Darcy model is employed to investigate the flow inside the porous layer of the duct. Effects of inertial coefficient, together with permeability, effective thermal conductivity, th
