Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a method of determining the net water drag coefficient (r d ) in a fuel cell. By measuring the velocity of the fluid stream at the outlet of the anode, r d can be determined. Real time monitoring and adjustments of the water balance of a fuel cell may be therefore achieved.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of determining the net water drag coefficient (r d ) in a fuel cell, the method comprising: measuring the velocity of a stream of fluid at the outlet of at least one electrode of a fuel cell; and determining r d as a function of said velocity measurement. 2. The method of determining r d in a fuel cell according to claim 1 , wherein said fuel cell is a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. 3.…
