Journal of Electrochemistry
The structure and performance of MEA were optimized by tailoring the catalyst layer,cathodic microporous layer (MPL) ,anodic MPL and membrane,with the considerations of unique characteristics of airbreathing direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) such as methanol crossover and cathode flooding. It was found that high catalyst loading could suppress the methanol crossover effectively,but too high catalyst loading can lead to high mass transport resistance. Hydrophobic anodic MPL with 30% (by mass) PTFE could facilitate the CO2 bubble detachment,which decreased the methanol concentration gradient and suppressed the methanol crossover accordingly. When Nafion 115 was used as membrane,methanol crossover was severe,while Nafion …

This thesis involves the modeling of cryogenic fluids through a porous metal foam counter flow heat exchanger. Although much research has been completed involving light weight high porosity metal foams in recent years, research performed on the subject of mid range porosities in metal foams and their use in heat exchangers has been relatively untouched. Even less literature is available pertaining to the effects of cryogenic fluids in porous metal foams.
Much about heat exchanger performance and pressure drop depends on the structure and relative density of the metal foams. This has been elaborated in several sources, but only for …
