Performance Analysis of PEM Fuel Cell for different Atmospheric conditions

Abstract

The fuel cell is a promising green technology and it can be a vital solution for the many problems relating to the pollution like transportation electricity generation etc. However, the performance of the fuel cell is highly dependent on the ambient conditions and therefore their study for the better use of the fuel is very necessary. The losses in the fuel cell have a relationship with the pressure and temperature and this paper deals about the different types of losses in the fuel cell and how they vary with different parameters. These losses are depending on the operating temperature of fuel cell, partial pressure of hydrogen and oxygen, rate of reaction and many more factors. This paper analyses the performance of fuel cell vary with different parameters.
