Abstract

A fuel cell in development for use in unmanned aerial vehicles is simulated and presented. The fuel primarily cell tackles the issue of weight for unmanned aerial vehicle applications. The balance of plant is also significantly reduced by this fuel cell which reduces weight and makes the fuel cell system more compact. Simulations include fluid flow, electrochemical effects, concentrated species transport, and heat distribution. The polarization plot produced by the simulation is in good agreement with experimental results.
