Solid-state thermal analysis of air- cooled polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells with predictive empirical profiling / Wan Ahmad Najmi Wan Mohamed

The operation of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells are thermally sensitive, requiring an effective thermal engineering to cope with the generated heat. Air cooling for closed cathode PEM fuel cells is limited to stacks under 1.5 kWe. Due to great demand for fuel cells of 3 kWe or less wi...
