Abstract |
|
Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a power generating device with high efficiency, zero emissions and working at atmospheric temperature and pressure. The Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel cells is producing power without spoiling the environment. In this paper, the parameters influencing the performance of PEM fuel cell are viewed reviewd from various sources. The performance of the fuel cell is highly influenced by the operating parameters like temperature, pressure, humidity and mass flow rates of reactant gases; and the design parameters like flow channel designs and dimensions, rib size, channel length, thickness and porosity of GDL, membrane type etc. It is concluded that the controlling of flow field design and operating parameters can improve the performances of PEM fuel cell. |
