“…High‐temperature gradients are observed only in certain cases where the operating pressure, as well as the input fuel and air temperature, is high. Despite this fact, cooling fields are used within PEM fuel cells to enhance its performance of PEM‐FC . For instance, a cooling system for a PEM‐FC has been investigated by Alizadeh et al The authors have used nine different flow fields to summarize their results on thermal behaviour.…”

“…Despite this fact, cooling fields are used within PEM fuel cells to enhance its performance of PEM-FC. 20,21 For instance, a cooling system for a PEM-FC has been investigated by Alizadeh et al 22 The authors have used nine different flow fields to summarize their results on thermal behaviour. They have thus established that uniformity of temperature and pressure drop minimization in flow field can help to obtain an optimum cooling field.…”

“…The fourth design consisted of a crisscross pattern [8,9]. This latter design was first proposed by Barreras [4] and modified in our previous work [10]. This design was selected for study because it reduces the blockage problem caused by the accumulation of water droplets on the cathode side, which occurs in serpentine designs.…”

“…We determined the best option for the possible development of a prototype of a fuel cell at the laboratory level from the results achieved. The serpentine flow channel is one of the most common channel designs for PEMFC [10], and it was selected as the reference for comparison of the new geometries. Table 1 shows the characteristics of the geometries.…”

“…In this context, the creation of flow channels on a polymeric material would be simpler and less expensive because it could be printed along with the CCPs. Moreover, simulation of the behavior of the gases through the flow channels is an important tool because it provides a practical approach to the optimization process, thus reducing the required experimentation .…”
