Abstract:
An experimental investigation of performance and a two-phase flow in a liquid fed direct methanol fuel cell with a three-channel serpentine anodic flow field has been conducted. Carbon dioxide bubbles and methanol solution in the anode flow bed of liquid fed direct methanol fuel cells forms a two-phase flow system. The characteristics of the two-phase flow are influenced by the design, operating condition and operating angle of the flow channel, and impact the performance of fuel cells at the same time. A three-channel serpentine flow field was designed. The visualization experiments of a liquid fed direct methanol fuel cell were performed to investigate relation between current density and the two-phase flow in a three-channel serpentine anodic flow field. The two-phase flow and performance of fuel cells at different angles were studied. The experimental results indicated that fuel cell showed good performance in different orientations.
