Tutorial: Modeling a Single-Channel, Counter-Flow PolymerElectrolyte Membrane (PEM) Fuel CellIntrodu ctionThe purpose of this tutorial is to provide guidelines and recommendations for using thePEM Fuel Cell add-on module available in FLUENT
This tutorial demonstrates how to do the following:• Build and generate a mesh for a single-channel PEM fuel cell
• Assign zone names and types that are required in the FLUENT PEM fuel cell add-onmodule
• Import the mesh into FLUENT, set up the case, and run the calculations
• Postprocess the results
Prerequ isitesThis tutorial assumes you are familiar with both the GAMBIT and FLUENT interfaces andthat you have a good understandingof the basic setup and solution procedures
Details ofmost steps will not be shown explicitly
If you have not used FLUENT be
