Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) CFD Simulation, ANSYS Fluent CFD Tutorial
Description
This project, which has been done by CFD numerical simulation method with the help of ANSYS Fluent software, a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is simulated. Fuel cells generate electricity through a chemical reaction and are less polluting than other power generation methods. In this project, a fuel cell is simulated from the PEMFC model.
The two-dimensional geometry of this project has been produced with SpaceClaim software. The length of the calculation domain is 220 mm, its width is 100 mm, and its height is 40 mm. The meshing of this project has been done with ANSYS Meshing software, and the type of elements is structured. Also, the total number of elements is 876,000.
PEMFC Methodology
In this project, the flow equations and the energy equation are solved. Several modules are used, including Species Transport, Porous & Fuel cell, and electrolysis. The flow channels carry a mixture of gaseous species, including oxygen, hydrogen, and water. The catalytic part consists of a porous medium with a porosity coefficient of 0.5 and contains mass sources, thermal energy, electrical potential, proton potential, saturated water, hydrogen, oxygen, and water.
The gaseous diffusion zone comprises a porous medium with a porosity coefficient of 0.5 and contains mass sources, thermal energy, electrical potential, saturated water, and hydrogen, oxygen, and gaseous water species.
PEMFC Conclusion
The present study aims to investigate the fluid behavior and thermal conductivity of a polymer fuel cell and its effect on the mass fraction of gaseous species and the amount of electricity produced in the cell.
After the simulation process, results are shown in the form of contours. The hydrogen and oxygen react, and this process leads to the electric current generation. The electrolyte membrane acts as a bridge between cathode and anode, and the catalytic layer boosts the transmission.
