Modelling of the mass transport in the PEMWE unit
M.Sc. Ahmed Elewaily, Prof. Dr. Insa Neuweiler
Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is one of the electrolysis technologies used for hydrogen production. For a substantial contribution to the transformation of energy systems, the efficiency of PEMWE electrolyzers has to be increased. Modeling of the flow and transport processes inside of the cells can be useful to test possible designs.
This work focuses on the mass transport in the Porous transport layers and bipolar plates as it has a major impact on the efficiency of the unit. The goal is to successfully model the Bipolar plates and study the effect of using different geometries for the flow-field channels on the performance of the unit. Furthermore, the project aims to investigate the influence of the flow-field channels and flow-field geometries on the transport conditions in the Porous transport layers.
