According to RCO News Agency quoting Amir Kabir University of Technology, Behnam al -Kamam has a doctoral degree in mechanical engineering under the guidance and guidance of Dr. Mohammad Reza Haj Mohammadi and Dr. Ali Ahmadpour, a member of the faculty of the University, called “Fuel Cooling Cool” with the help of a polymer membrane.
“At prese, society and the global industry is inclined to clean and renewable energy,” said the project. Energy production is an advaage in today’s world using new methods devoid of environmeal pollution.
According to him; Polymer membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are an electrochemical device that converts the chemical energy of its fuel (hydrogen) io electricity. This is the conversion of energy without any coamination; Because the products of this device are electricity, water and heat, so research and developme of fuel cells in the world has attracted the atteion of many researchers.
The graduate of Amir Kabir University of Technology described cooling as one of the most importa issues in the polymer membrane fuel cell, and noted: These fuel cells should be kept at an acceptable temperature ierval because at higher temperatures, the cell fails and is no longer able to generate electricity. Accordingly, in this project, our research focused on improving the cooling of the polymer membrane fuel cell to increase its production capacity.
He added: According to this study, many of the methods that have been used for fuel cooling were first discussed and the advaages and disadvaages of each were extracted.
According to him; This method is first preseed in the field of fuel cell cooling.
According to the results of this study, the two-phase water-water flow is much better performance than the single-phase water flow and can be used in cooling of high-powered fuel cells. In fact, optimized and uniform cooling of the fuel cell increases its production capacity and longevity.
He poied to the process of doing this project: The method of implemeation was a numerical simulation based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) performed by OpenFOAM open source software. It has been attempted to see all the real conditions governing this physical equipme in the releva equations.
The existence of fuel cells as a source of electricity production is applicable to various industries, including its applications for transportation industries such as electric cars, defense industries, electricity generation for remote areas and distance from urban ceers.
He added: electricity generation for areas that do not have access to urban electricity, such as a village or a remote research ceer and its moving applications for power generation for transportation issues such as lightweight equipme, bicycles, scooters or heavier items such as electric cars, electric buses, cargo equipme, in the defense industry.
The graduate of Amirkabir University of Technology cited the publication of two ISI articles with Q2 in the journals in Heat and Mass Transfer and Iernational Journal of Thermal Science among the other achievemes of this doctoral dissertation.
He emphasized that the polymer membrane fuel cell is currely in use and operation in most advanced couries and industries, but the cooling method is first preseed in this doctoral dissertation using its two -phase flow. Competitive advaages of this cooling method is its high ability to transfer heat and cooling compared to other currency methods. So that under the design conditions preseed, it has a higher ability to cool than other methods.
