20.500.12556/RUL-148317 Educational scale-bridging approach towards modelling of electric potential, electrochemical reactions, and species transport in PEM fuel cell The use of hydrogen fuel cells as a mobile source of electricity could prove key to the future decarbonisation of heavy-duty road and marine transportation. Due to the complex interplay of various physicochemical processes in fuel cells, further development of these devices will depend on concerted efforts by researchers from various fields, who often lack in-depth knowledge of different aspects of fuel cell operation. These knowledge gaps can be filled by information that is scattered in a wide range of literature, but is rarely covered in a concise and condensed manner. To address this issue, we propose an educational-scale-bridging approach towards the modelling of most relevant processes in the fuel cell that aims to adequately describe the causal relations between the processes involved in fuel cell operation. The derivation of the model equations provides an intuitive understanding of the electric and chemical potentials acting on protons at the microscopic level and relates this knowledge to the terminology commonly used in fuel cell research, such as catalyst electric overpotential and internal membrane resistance. The results of the model agreed well with the experimental data, indicating that the proposed simple mathematical description is sufficient for an intuitive understanding of fuel cell operation. fuel cells PEMFC modelling educational approach scale-bridging gorivne celice PEMFC modeliranje izobraževalni pristop povezovanje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-08-11 13:35:22 2023-08-11 13:35:26 2025-08-08 13:22:32 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 31 str. iss. 7, art. 1131 Vol. 13 Jul. 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 621.352.6 2073-4344 10.3390/catal13071131 161059843 Kregar_..._-_Educational_Scale-Bridging_Approach_towards_Modelling_of.pdf Kregar_..._-_Educational_Scale-Bridging_Approach_towards_Modelling_of.pdf 1 A2F0ABEC3D6C89A3CE8569DFC085E8B0 fbbb60b941c6fd3ed4eebe1b548513e9a13b23be1709ec4b5c90312a72389d02 7000d2ef-383c-11ee-b9d7-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=172429 https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4344/13/7/1131 1 29e1cb14-383b-11ee-b9d7-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=172428 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
