摘要
The thermal contact resistance (TCR) is the main component of proton exchange mem-brane fuel cell (PEMFC) thermal resistance due to the existence of surface roughness be-tween the components of PEMFC, and the influence of TCR is often ignored in traditional three dimensional PEMFC simulations. In this paper, the heat and mass transfer charac-teristics including polarization curve, power density curve, temperature distribution, membrane water content distribution, membrane current density are studied under different component surface roughness conditions, and finally the effect of each TCR on the PEMFC performance is studied. It is found that under the same operating conditions, the TCR makes the radial heat transfer of the PEMFC decrease, and the temperature of the membrane electrode and the temperature difference of each component of the PEMFC is higher than that of the model without TCR. When the surface roughness of components in the PEMFC equals 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, the cell current density decreases by 6.56%, 12.46% and 17.17% respectively when the output cell voltage equals 0.3 V, and the cell power density decreases by 3.64%, 7.54%, 13.14% respectively when the cell current density equals 1.2 A center dot cm-2. When the TCR between the CL and PEM equals 0.003 K center dot m2 center dot W-1, 0.005 K center dot m2 center dot W-1, 0.01 K center dot m2 center dot W-1, the cell current density is increased by 2.30%, 3.65%, 6.74% respectively under the condition that the output cell voltage equals 0.3 V, and the cell power density is increased by 1.24%, 1.85%, 3.10% respectively when the cell current density equals 1.2 A center dot cm-2. The results show that the numerical simulation of PEMFC cannot ignore the effect of TCR.(c) 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
