Abstract

This paper proposes a new type of rotary proton exchange membrane fuel cell (R-PEMFC) and its simulation model is established and verified based on experimental data. Then the effects of different rotational angular speeds (RASs) on reactant flow characteristics and electrochemical reactions are investigated. Also, the key quantitative indexes, such as average value, uniformity index and effective mass transfer coefficient (EMTC) are adopted, while combining the polarization curve and net power to estimate the comprehensive R-PEMFC performance. The results indicate that the R-PEMFC effectively ameliorates uneven distribution and improves the transmission capability and output performance. Compared with the static state (0 rpm), the EMTC and maximum power density are enhanced by 65.86 % and 8.51 % respectively at the RAS of 1080 rpm, and the net power density can reach 5316 W·m⁻².
