Water Management in PEM Fuel Cells
Open accessAbstract
A simplified model for water management in a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell operating under prescribed current with iso-potential plates is presented. The consumption of gases in the flow field channels, coupled to the electric potential and water content in the polymer membrane, is modeled in a two-dimensional slice from inlet to outlet and through the membrane. Both co- and counter-flowing air and fuel streams are considered, with attention paid to sensitivity of along-the-channel current density to inlet humidities, gas stream composition, and fuel and oxygen stoichiometries. The parameters describing the nonequilibrium kinetics of the membrane/catalyst interface are found to be fundamental to accurate fuel cell modeling. A new parameter which models nonequilibrium membrane water uptake rates is introduced. Four parameters, the exchange current, a membrane water transfer coefficient, an effective oxygen diffusivity, and an average membrane resistance, are fit to a subset of data and then held constant in subsequent runs which compare polarization curves, current density and membrane hydration distributions, water transfer, and stoichiometric sensitivity to the balance of the experimental data. © 2004 The Electrochemical Society.

Berg et al.'s value cf = 1200 mol m−3 seems erroneous for Nafion 1100 if measured against the dry density.
“As a caution, the significant paper on water management by Berg et al. [33] gives cf = 1200 mol m−3 which seems to be erroneous for Nafion 1100 if measured against the dry density.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
