Abstract:A new phenomenological mathematical model that describes the behavior of the cathode of a polymeric fuel cell was developed. It includes the modelling of liquid water and all cathode layers (gas collector, gas diffusion layer, microporous layer and catalyst layer); additionally, the catalyst layer is described as spherical agglomerates according to experimental evidence [1].
Since the performance of the fuel cell is highly dependent on the structure of the catalyst; [2] and cell flooding cause d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
