چکیده

In this paper, three innovative 3-D geometries for  ow  elds of cathode and anode have been developed to investigate the comparative impact of increasing the multiplicity of the involved anode-cathode channel surface contact on the ef ciency of electrochemical reaction via the same membrane electrode assembly (MEA) active area. In the introduced new models, each anode channel includes two, threeand four cathodes while the convectional model include a one to one connection. The governing equations consist of mass, momentum and energy conservation. In addition, the species transport and the electric/ionic  elds were solved numerically using the  nite volume method under the assumptions of steady state and nonisothermal  uid  ow. Simulation results revealed that increasing the multiplicity of the anode-cathode involved surface of reactants channel leads to current and power density enhancement due to the improved opportunity of reactants penetration and less concentration losses. Also, a considerable reduction of mono-cell volume size and costs for the new models in comparison with the base design was achieved.

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
