Characterization of gas-liquid two-phase flow in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell

This thesis explores two-phase flow phenomena relevant to water management in PEM fuel cells. Particularly, pressure drop hysteresis is explored in depth, which occurs when the gas and liquid flow rates are increased and decreased along a set path but exhibit different pressure drops. The hysteresis...
