Abstract

Thermal management of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack is vital for good stack performance. We demonstrate here how the concept of automated model generation for a PEMFC stack can be applied for the study of placement of coolant plates in a stack of arbitrary size (in this study 20 cells). The computational cost of the reduced mathematical model that captures the essential phenomena-mass, momentum, species, energy and charge transfer-in the stack on a local level is highlighted: around 90 seconds and 0.25 GB of random access memory to solve for a stack with 20 cells and different coolant plates placement. This automated model generator provides an efcient tool for optimization of the design and operating conditions of a PEMFC stack.
