4 PEM fuel cell challenges Too expensive Lifetime lower than competing technology Efficiency high, but can be higher P. Mock, J. Power Sources (2009)
5 PEMFC Description Design must consider Catalyst nanoporous layer Microporous support layer Gas supply system Water removal system Anode Flow Channel e H Fuel cell models must consider 2 Heat transport H + Electron production Proton and water transport Gas access Cathode Flow Channel O 2 e Water removal

9 Working procedure for one-dimensional model 1. The entropy production of five separate layers 2. The fluxes and conjugate forces 3. The coefficients from experiments 4. Electric work from chemical energy in the cell 5. The dissipation of energy; lost work Limitations in this study: One-dimensional transports No pressure gradients
10 Transport of heat, mass and charge across five parallell layers Possible questions: Nernst equation is: ΔG = -nfe What is the local potential profile? Is there any temperature profile? In which contexts are concentration profiles important? What is the entropy production?
11 A systematic way to describe transport processes 2.law, local formulation Example: The PEM fuel cell s= å JX i i > i 0 Onsager s symmetry relations must be obeyed for any subsystem: J = L X + L X J 2 = L 2 1 X L 2 2 X 2.
12 Three ways to find the lost work: 1. By integrating over σ 2. By calculating J s in J s out 3. By measuring the heat production ò s dx = J -J out s in s é 1 out out = J ' + å J S out êët é 1 in in ù - J' in q+ å Ji Si êët úû q i i ù úû The cell potential as function of the current density shows 3 distinct regimes (Eg. Weber and Newman, review, 2004)

15 The entropy production for the cathode surface We use: Mass balances, first law, Gibbs equation One flux-force pair for each variable Reversible conditions give Nernst equation for the electrode!

22 The problem: Losses are unevenly distributed across the membrane! Cf. Lecture 10

(1991) 261 Diffusional regime 1 The entropy production (and the driving force) is constant in each of the flow regimes S. Gheorghiu, S. Kjelstrup, P. Pfeifer and M.-O.

24 Can we make more energy efficient designs? A fractal injector in fluidized beds gives higher yield per unit time (Coppens, US patent) *US Patent
25 Highest thermodynamic efficiency with constant local entropy production and uniform feed over the area; or: Cf, Lectures 10,11 A fractal injector gives a uniform 2D distribution* Tondeur et al Right angles: OK when pressure losses are small!

31 Summary The coupling of transport phenomena in fuel cells is large The entropy production can be studied by calorimetry of fuel cells and by modeling The theory provides fundamental insight, and may help practical designs of experiments and equipments The entropy balance is not yet widely used in a systematic study of fuel cells. It can be used to find better designs (cf. Lectures 10,11).
