Abstract

This study presents the performance of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell in terms of its pressure and voltage parameters. The aim of this study is to improve the performance, efficiency and development of modeling and simulations of PEM fuel cells by experimental optimization. PEM fuel cell performance was researched using an open cathodic plate fuel cell, the effect of fuel cell's performance. PEM fuel cell efficiency was measured in terms of operating pressure and voltage parameters. The energy and exergy efficiencies of the PEM fuel cell were found to be 47.6% and 50.4%, herein. In this study, these results indicate that waste water of experimental work comprehends importance of the PEM fuel cell life-time.
