The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A model is presented for the liquid feed direct methanol fuel cell, which describes the hydraulic behavior of an internally manifolded cell stack. The model is based on the homogeneous two-phase flow theory and mass conservation equation. The model predicts the pressure drop behavior of an individual fuel cell, and is used to calculate flow distribution through fuel cell stack internal manifolds. The flow distribution of the two-phase fluids in the anode and the cathode chambers is predicted as a function of cell operating parameters. An iterative numerical scheme is used to solve the differential equations for longitudinal momentum and continuity.
