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 present, society and the global industry is inclined to clean and renewable energy,” said the project. Energy production is an advantage in today’s world using new methods devoid of environmental pollution.
According to him; Polymer membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are an electrochemical device that converts the chemical energy of its fuel (hydrogen) into electricity. This is the conversion of energy without any contamination; Because the products of this device are electricity, water and heat, so research and development of fuel cells in the world has attracted the attention of many researchers.
The graduate of Amir Kabir University of Technology described cooling as one of the most important issues in the polymer membrane fuel cell, and noted: These fuel cells should be kept at an acceptable temperature interval 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 advantages and disadvantages of each were extracted.
According to him; This method is first presented 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 pointed to the process of doing this project: The method of implementation 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 equipment in the relevant 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 centers.
He added: electricity generation for areas that do not have access to urban electricity, such as a village or a remote research center and its moving applications for power generation for transportation issues such as lightweight equipment, bicycles, scooters or heavier items such as electric cars, electric buses, cargo equipment, 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 International Journal of Thermal Science among the other achievements of this doctoral dissertation.
He emphasized that the polymer membrane fuel cell is currently in use and operation in most advanced countries and industries, but the cooling method is first presented in this doctoral dissertation using its two -phase flow. Competitive advantages of this cooling method is its high ability to transfer heat and cooling compared to other currency methods. So that under the design conditions presented, it has a higher ability to cool than other methods.
