Development of radial flow channel for improved water and gas management of cathode flow field in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell

This thesis presents an innovative radial flow field design for PEMFC cathode flow plates. This new design, which is in the form of a radial field, replaces the standard rectangular flow channels in exchange for a set of flow control rings. The control rings allow for better flow distribution and us...
