A water and heat management model for proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells

TL;DR: In this paper, a water and heat management model was developed and used to investigate the effectiveness of various humidification designs for proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells and showed that at high current (> 1A/cm[sup 2], ohmic loss in the membrane accounts for a large fraction of the voltage loss in a cell and back diffusion of water from the cathode side of the membrane is insufficient to keep the membrane hydrated.
