Fuel Cell Page 13.271.13Example Problem Statement: In this example we will apply principles of microscopicenergy balances to the design of a fuel cell system. For simplicity, we will consider therectangular geometry shown below, which describes flow over and heat conductionthrough a solid plate, with a heat source (due to reaction). Flow, Solid, Insulated h, T k, q Boundary xThe governing equation describing the thermal energy conservation equation is given by: d 2T k = −q (1

2 ρ 2where Pi is the pressure, Vi is the velocity, αi is the kinetic energy correction factor and Zi is theelevation at point i, ρ is the density, g is acceleration due to gravity, WP is the pump work, hfp isthe frictional losses associated with the pump, and hf are the frictional losses due to skin friction,sudden contractions and expansions, and pipe fittings. Students don’t readily connect equation(1) with the energy balance they see in thermodynamics. They are most familiar with the energybalance for a single input, single output system operating at steady state in the form [Smith et al.,2005] ∆H + ∆KE + ∆PE = Q + W (2)where H is enthalpy, KE
