Modeling Transport Phenomena in Renewable Energy System
The underlying physics in a fuel cell involve coupled fluid flow, heat and mass transport with electrochemistry. CFD simulation of the transport processes is essential to the development and optimization of fuel cells, the introduction of new materials and fabrication techniques, and the design and development of novel architectures. Projects are conducted on CFD simulation of the transport phenomena in fuel cells.
