Abstract

The Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is an electrochemical device and its performance depends on the design and operating parameters. In this paper, optimization of operating and design parameters on serpentine flow field of 64 cm2 effective area of the PEM fuel cell was considered. The design was done by Creo Parametric 2.0 software and analyses and optimization by Taguchi method was done by CFD Fluent 14.5 and Minitab 17 software respectively. Based on the optimization study, the landing to channel width ratio (L: C) - 1:1 has given 0.163 W/cm2 power density also it has maximum influence on PEM fuel cell performance and square of response factor (R2) was achieved by Taguchi method as 99.67 %.
