Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The performance and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are greatly influenced by their water management capability. Therefore, novel flow field designs have been developing by researchers for the improvement of PEMFCs. Among those designs, novel biomimetic designs or so-called nature-inspired designs have captured special attention from researchers due to their capability of distributing fluids effectively with their prominent characteristics such as low pressure drops and efficient fluid distribution. This thesis presents a numerical investigation of the liquid water transport in PEMFC cathode with various biomimetic flow field designs. It includes a symmetrical biomimetic flow field design based …
