摘要：

A full three-dimensional, single phase model of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has been developed. A single set of conservation equations developed and numerically solved using a finite volume based computational fluid dynamics technique. In present investigation some parameters such as transport phenomena, fuel cell performance for conventional model (base case) and the effect of inlet gases humidity on cell performance were investigated in more details. The numerical results prove that the inlet gases humidity and membrane water management are most important parameters that affect cell performance and transport phenomena in fuel cell. Finally the numerical results are compared with experimental data, which represent good agreement.
