Need help with PEM Fuel Cell Modeling using COMSOL

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) using COMSOL, incorporating transport equations for mass, heat, species, and charge. The user successfully validated their stationary model against a published reference but encountered issues with the dynamic voltage response during validation. Specifically, they expected to simulate an undershoot in voltage when transitioning from lower to higher current density, similar to experimental results. However, the expected dynamic voltage versus time curve was not achieved. The user seeks advice on how to effectively trigger the undershooting in the voltage response.

I happen to be modelling PEMFC and accounted for various transport equation including mass, heat, species and charge. I was able to validate my stationary model based on a published reference. In validating its voltage dynamic response, I was expecting at a potentiometric conditions that an undershoot will be simulated similar to the experimental dynamic response of the reference study. Unfortunately, I was not able to gain the supposed end expected dynamic voltage vs. time curve. In this regard, does anyone knows how to trigger the undershooting in the volatge response when current is changed from lower to higher current density values?
 

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
