Operating and design parameters are the key factors which are mostly affected the performance of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). Generation of water on cathode side of PEMFC reduces its performance. So reduction of water generation on cathode side is the most important analysis to improve the performance of PEMFC. In this study high temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell with single flow channel configuration is selected to evaluate the effect of cathode water generation under the four different operating temperatures (463K, 473K, 483K, and 493K) by using COMSOL Multiphysics software. Result shows that the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell at an operating temperature of 493K gives the least cathode water concentration among the other three operating temperatures. |
