PEM Fuel Cell Modeling and Simulation Using Matlab

Although, the basic concept of a fuel cell is quite simple, creating new s and optimizing their performance takes serious work and a mastery of several technical areas. PEM Fuel Cell Modeling and Simulation Using Matlab, provides engineers and researchers with a valuable tool for understanding and overcoming barriers to ing and building the next generation of PEM Fuel Cells. With this book, engineers can test components and verify s in the development phase, saving both time and money.Easy to read and understand, this book provides and modelling tips for fuel cell components such as: modelling proton exchange structure, catalyst layers, gas diffusion, fuel distribution structures, fuel cell stacks and fuel cell plant. This book includes advice and MATLAB and FEMLAB codes for Fuel Cell types such as: polymer electrolyte, direct methanol and solid oxide fuel cells. This book also includes types for one, two and three dimensional modeling and two-phase flow phenomena and microfluidics. - Modeling and validation techniques - Covers most types of Fuel Cell including SOFC - MATLAB and FEMLAB modelling codes - Translates basic phenomena into mathematical equations
