✦ Synopsis

the effect of operating parameters (temperature gradient, current density, flow bed design, fuel and oxidant flow rates and pressure) on the pressure losses at the anode and cathode side of the cell. The model is applied to an existing flow bed design, based on a plate heat-exchanger, used in current fuel cell scale-up studies. The role of the flow bed design is examined by presenting the pressure drop contributions for each of the three sections that comprise the flow bed.
