Fuel cell mass flow rate magnitudes

AI Thread Summary
The mass flow rate of hydrogen and oxygen in fuel cells varies based on the specific type and model of the fuel cell, as well as the power consumption. Detailed specifications are necessary to provide accurate flow rate information. Manufacturers are the best source for precise data on mass flow rates for their specific fuel cell designs. General information can be found on resources like Wikipedia, which offers an overview of different fuel cell types. For in-depth details, exploring the references linked in such articles is recommended.

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.

Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
