Question

1. The PEM fuel cell shown in figure can be used in as a renewable energy technology in cars. The fuel cell dimensions and various temperatures are shown. The electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell creates 11.25 watts of power that must be removed by convection and radiation for the fuel cell to operate at steady-state and maintain a constant fuel-cell surface temperature of 25 C. The convection coefficient for the fuel cell surface depends on the air velocity flowing over the fuel cell, and is given b,y h- 10.9 V05 (units of Wm2 K with V in m/s). Assume that there are negligible temperature variations within the fuel cell, and that the thin edge surfaces are well insulated. a) Find the radiation heat transfer qrad from the fuel cell b) Find the convection heat transfer qcor from the fuel cell c) Find the air velocity over the fuel cell required to maintain the steady-state operation.
