Design of a segmented fuel cell model for the ESDLab
This thesis is focused on the improvement of a segmented fuel cell (SFC) for the ESDLab of the University of Alberta, which had three design and operation problems. To reach the desired design, two versions of the SFC were developed. The first design (NewSFCV1) solved two of the three main problems identified in the original version of the SFC, which were the position of manifolds inside the channels, holes in two of the four current collectors, and not a good seal between copper and graphite...
