Liquid-gas two-phase flow in flow channels of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells has been investigated extensively in the literature; however, a comparison between the order of the magnitude of the forces occurring within the flow channels has not b ...
In this study, three manifold-microchannel heat exchangers were additively manufactured by direct metal laser sintering. The heat exchangers were manufactured from stainless steel (SS17-4) with an overall dimension of 64.2 x 46.0 x 27.1 mm. The thermal and ...
Development of intermittent solar and wind energies and the demand peak increase has made energy storage very important in energy policy. Thus, energy storage will play a key role in enabling the world to develop a low-carbon electricity system. An interes ...

Liquid-gas two-phase flow in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of proton exchange membrane fuel cells is investigated using an ex-situ experimental setup. The mass transport phenomena is investigated in carbon paper and carbon cloth GDLs and at different compr ...
A new finned reciprocating air compressor model is developed recently for compressed air energy storage. First the mechanism of operation of the new compressor is described. The complexity of the design encouraged us to develop the model based on the bond ...
A proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell produces water during its operation which results in a liquid-gas two-phase flow within its flow channels. Because the length scales associated with flow channels are small, the two-phase flow in PEM fuel cell is ...

Considering the need for a reliable and environmentally friendly energy storage solution for addressing renewable energy intermittency issue and following the developments on Isothermal Compressed Air Energy Storage (I-CAES) systems, a new finned piston co ...
The drainage process in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells is investigated with an ex situ experimental approach. The drainage process is investigated for stable displacement, capillary fingering, and viscous fingeri ...
This article introduces the energetic macroscopic representation (EMR) as approach for the dynamic nonlinear modeling of a reciprocating air compressor. EMR has been introduced recently for research development in complex electromechanical systems and is b ...
Isothermal compression/expansion is regarded as the most promising process in many applications and many researchers and inventors have tried different methods to achieve this goal. The current article first studies the gradual roadmap from adiabatic towar ...
