Abstract (EN)

AN ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF A 1-D MODEL OF CATHODE SIDEFOR A PROTON EXCHANGE MEMBRANE FUEL CELL(M.Sc. Thesis)Yusuf ERKANGAZI UNIVERSITYINSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYSeptember 2006ABSTRACTThe subject of this thesis covers the development of a mathematical model forthe transport phenomena inside a proton exchange membrane fuel cell andparametric analysis of the results obtained from the solution of this model. Themodel consists of only cathode side; gas channel, gas diffuser layers, catalystlayer and the membrane. Analytic expressions for the oxygen mass fraction inthe gas channel, gas diffuser layers, and catalyst layer; current density andmembrane phase potential in the catalyst layer and membrane are derived firstand then solved analytically. Polarization curve is expressed as a function of thesurface overpotential and analyzed parametrically.Science Code : 914.1.038Key Words : Fuel cell, PEMFCs, analytical solutionPage number : 114Adviser : Yrd.
