Fuel cell mass flow rate magnitudes

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The mass flow rate of hydrogen and oxygen in fuel cells varies significantly based on the specific make and model of the fuel cell, as well as the power consumption levels. For precise values, consulting manufacturer specifications is essential. General information can be found on the Wikipedia page for fuel cells, which provides an overview of different types and links to further resources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fuel cell technology
  • Familiarity with mass flow rate calculations
  • Knowledge of specific fuel cell types and their applications
  • Ability to interpret technical specifications from manufacturers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific fuel cell models and their manufacturer specifications
  • Explore the Wikipedia page on fuel cells for foundational knowledge
  • Investigate mass flow rate calculations in electrochemical systems
  • Review academic publications on fuel cell performance metrics
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, researchers, and students interested in fuel cell technology, particularly those focusing on performance metrics and design specifications.

Hello,

Can you tell me please the mass flow rate of hydrogen and oxygen per unit of area of electrodes in fuel cells? Or if you have information on the mass flow rate of hydrogen and air per volume of fuel cell stack?

I understand this may vary, but I am looking for publications or other sources that have such info, even if it is for specific fuel cells.

Thanks

Of course it would vary with the make and model, but especially with how much power is consumed. You'll need more specifications before that can be answered. But the best answers are likely to come from manufacturers.

Not all fuel cells are alike. For general information, I would start here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_cell#Types_of_fuel_cells;_design
Then I would follow the links in the reference section of that article for more details.
