A numerical analysis has been carried out for the heat transfer characteristics of the Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell (PAFC) stack. The effect of various parameters, such as utilization ratio, cooling and process air temperature and cooling air flow rate on the performance of the PAFC has been examined by the computer simulation.
The results showed good agreements with the available experimental ones. The method and computer program which was developed in this study will be greatly helpful to design and verify the performance of PAFC stack.
