An oxygen transport model derived for limiting current density operation was employed to explore its use for hydrogen transport. Limiting current data obtained from a variety of fuel cell designs (alkaline, proton exchange membrane, sulphuric acid) demonstrated the model's validity and allowed deter

β¦ Synopsis
The so-called bubbling and weeping effects observed with porous semihydrophobic fuel cell electrodes are discussed in terms of gas transport in porous media. It is shown that the bubbling of gas on the electrolyte side can be accounted for by transport equations vahd in the intermediate region between ordinary and Knudsen diffusion. The anomalous transport of liquid toward the gas side IS attnbuted to isothermal distillation proceeding in the electrode pores. A gradient of the partial pressure of water vapour in the pores is the principal cause for both effects.

Transport phenomena on complex media are characterized by a subdiffusive regime called anomalous diffusion (Sahimi, 1983;Rammal, 1984). Anomalous diffusion has been observed in porous media (Katz and Thompson, 1985), capillarity networks (Adler, 1985) and percolation beds (Stauffer, 1985). In the la
