Design of experiment study of the parameters that affect performance of three flow plate configurations of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell
This work supported by Enterprise Ireland to compare between different configurations of flow plates of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, the serpentine flow plate and two new configurations; the maze flow plate and the parallel flow plate. A study of the input parameters affecting output responses of voltage, current, power and efficiency of a fuel cell is performed through experimentation. This study show an overall cell efficiency of 15% of the new configuration, this study was the basic of cell developments led to filed patent: GB1216030.5 entitled: A Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell with Open Pore Cellular Foam
