how to calculate mass flow rate for Anode & Cathode in fuel Cell

ramakant · March 10, 2017, 08:09

Dear All

I want to calculate the mass flow rate(inlet) anode & cathode for the PEM fuel cell modeling.I have Anode/Cathode inlet velocity 2m/s and inlet O2 concentration (kmol/m3),inlet H2 concentration (kmol/m3).

Any book,Journal?

Thank you
Regards
Ramakant

Yes..i solved it for PEM fuel cell using OpenFOAM

Hello
I simulated a tubular SOFC with unsolved electrolyte
inlet boundary conditions of mass flow inlet with mole fraction h2=0.475 and h2o=0.525 for the fuel channel and o2=0.298 for the air channel, but after convergence the mass fraction at the beginning of the fuel cell becomes zero and It does not reach the end, what is the problem?
thanks for your help
