3D multiscale modeling of high temperature PEM fuel cell - 3D pore-scale simulation of the fluid flow through the electrodes of High Temperature PEM Fuel Cell

Fuel cells and hydrogen are two key components for building a competitive, secure, and sustainable clean energy economy, due to possibility to convert diverse fuels directly into electrical power without combustion and a carbon-free fuel that can be produced from renewable resources. However, to become competitive in a market, fuel cells should overcome the issues by improvements in durability and performance as well as reductions in manufacturing cost. Recent advances in fuel cell technology has been made by development of the high temperature (HT) polymeric electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells (FC). Owing to combination of the advantages of two types of fuel cells, namely polymeric electrolyte membrane and phosphoric acid, it is considered as one of the best technological solutions.
