Modeling the Effective Thermal Conductivity of an Anisotropic and Heterogeneous Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Gas Diffusion Layer

In this thesis, two numerical modeling methods are used to investigate the thermal conductivity of the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell gas diffusion layer (GDL). First, an analytical model is used to study the through-plane thermal conductivity from representative physical GDL models in...
