Experimental and simulative investigation of water transfer in membrane humidifiers operating with liquid and vaporous water

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells require exact water management to achieve high performance and long service lifetimes. The water management is controlled by the active humidification of the incoming cathode gas. This is commonly achieved by a membrane humidifier as part of the balance...
