Numerical Study On Heat Transfer Enhancement And Fluid Flow for Low Concentration of Al2O3 Water - Ethylene Glycol Mixture Nanofluid in A Single PEMFC Cooling Plate

Numerical Study On Heat Transfer Enhancement And Fluid Flow for Low Concentration of Al2O3 Water - Ethylene Glycol Mixture Nanofluid in A Single PEMFC Cooling Plate

Numerical analysis on thermal enhancement for a single Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) cooling plate is presented in this paper. In this study, low concentration of Al2O3 in Water - Ethylene Glycol mixtures was used as coolant in 220mm x 300mm cooling plate with 22 parallel mini channels...
