Environmental concerns of greenhouse gases (GHG) effect from fossil commodities and the fast increase in global energy demand have created awareness on need to replace fuels with other sources clean energy. PEM fuel cell (PEMFC) is a promising source fuels. The commercialization depends its price, weight mechanical strength. Bipolar plates are among main components PEMFC which perform some significant functions stack. Metal bipolar plate considered by research community as future material...

Studies into the effects of parameters used in design proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell have been done. All modelling considered influenced performance PEM cells. The effect operating condition is shown to be significant. Increasing temperature and pressure increases mobility ions as a result ionic conductivity increased. In addition, dried out when correct humidity not provided which degradation. Adopting good parameter necessary for efficient transportation both reactants (fuel...

The large volumes of Sentinel-1 data produced over Europe are being used to develop pan-national ground motion services. However, simple analysis techniques like thresholding cannot detect and classify complex deformation signals reliably making providing usable information a broad range nonexpert stakeholders challenge. Here, we explore the applicability deep learning approaches by adapting pretrained convolutional neural network (CNN) in national-scale velocity field. For our...

Abstract Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a new technique based on the combination wavelet packet transform (WPT) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) for predicting ice accretion surface an airfoil. Design/methodology/approach Wavelet decomposition used reduce number input vectors ANN improve training convergence. An developed with five variables (velocity, temperature, liquid water content, median volumetric diameter exposure time) taken as data one dependent variable (the...

A low cost bipolar plate materials with a high fuel cell performance is important for the establishment of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM ) cells into competitive world market. In this research, effect different plates material such as Aluminum (Al), Copper (Cu), and Stainless Steel (SS) single stack proton exchange membrane (PEM) was investigated both numerically experimentally. Firstly, three dimensional (3D) PEM model developed, simulations were conducted using commercial computational...

The aim of this research is to develop methodology and provide insight into the viability using Open Pore Cellular Foam (OPCF) material in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Electrolysers. Analysis have therefore been carried out on three different types electrolyser geometries. A PEM considered with serpentine, mesh OPCF flow channels, whilst all other physical operational parameters are kept constant. Three dimensional models created solid works computational fluid dynamic simulations...
