Abstract

The performance of the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell has been influenced by the operating parameters. In this work comparing the performance of 81 cm2 effective area with the landing to channel width ratio of (L: C) 1:1 serpentine flow channel of PEM fuel cell at various operating pressure (1 and 2 bar), temperatures ranges (303, 313, 323 and 333K) and constant mass flow rate of reactants was analyzed numerically. CATIA V5 tool and the Fluent CFD 16.0 software were used to create mode and analysis. The L: C-1:1 has produced maximum power density of 0.152 W/cm2 with 2 bar pressure and operating temperature of 323 K on serpentine flow channel of PEM fuel cell
