Conceptual design of 5 kW PEM fuel cell stack

Conceptual design of 5 kW PEM fuel cell stack

The main objective of this paper is to conceptually design the stack of Proton Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell taking into consideration the voltage for a single cell, number of cells required, current density, power density and finally the current flow in the stack. A part from that, effect of...
