Experimental and theoretical investigation of mass transport in porous media of a PEM fuel cell
DownloadFall 2011
Porous media is an integral part of polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEMFC) electrodes. In this study, an experimental setup is presented to investigate convective and diffusive mass transport in porous media of fuel cell electrodes. A new theoretical model was developed in order to correct for...

We examine the transient evolution of a negatively buoyant, laminar plume in an emptying filling box containing a uniform porous medium. In the long time limit, τ→∞, the box is partitioned into two uniform layers of different densities. However, the approach towards steady state is characterized...
