Improving Water Management in Fuel Cell Flow Channels via Oscillation of Water Droplets

Schultz R., Diebel J., Allen J., Michigan Technological University, US

To achieve maximum efficiency and reliability in a PEM fuel cell, a balance between keeping the membrane from becoming too dry or too wet must be monitored carefully. At present, product water is moved through [...]

Numerical Analysis of a Microfluidic Oscillator Flowmeter Operating with Gases or Liquids

Simões E.W., Furlan R., Pereira M.T., Laboratório de Sistemas Integráveis - Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo, BR

We analyzed microfluidic oscillators operating with liquids (water, isopropilic alcohol, and acetone) or gases (nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide), using numerical simulation. The possible applications include rapid measurement and control of low fluid flows in [...]
