خلاصه مقاله:

We have developed a general mathematical model to represent the Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) performances. A one dimensional and isothermal mathematical model for a half-cell PEM containing the Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL), Catalyst Layer (CL), and membrane has been developed. The effect of cathode-side operating parameters on the performance of a PEM fuel cell is studied.
