A numerical study for an interdigitated micro-PEMFC

A numerical simulation study for an interdigitated micro-channel
PEM fuel cell is presented. Hydrogen gas is supplied to the anode and
air is supplied to the cathode. The fuel cell outer surfaces are
maintained at a constant temperature.
The SIMPLEC algorithm is employed in a control volume numerical
scheme. The outflow boundary conditions are specified to all transport
equations except that an outlet pressure is specified to the momentum
equation.
Results are compared and show good agreement with the
experimental data. The effects of the mass flow rate, the outlet pressure
and the cell surface temperature on the cell performance are studied.
The results can provide reference for fuel cell design.
