Based on finite-time thermodynamics, an irreversible high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) model is developed, and the mathematical expressions of exergy efficiency, exergy destruction index (EDI), and exergy sustainability indicators (ESI) of HT-PEMFC are derived. According to HT-PEMFC model, the influences of thermodynamic irreversibility on exergy sustainability of HT-PEMFC are researched under different operating parameters that include operating temperatures, inlet pressure, and current density. The results show that the higher operating temperature and inlet pressure of HT-PEMFCs is beneficial to performance improvement. In addition, the single cell performance gradually decreases with increasing current density due to the presence of the irreversibility of HT-PEMFC.
基于有限时间热力学,建立了一种不可逆的高温质子交换膜燃料电池(HT-PEMFC)模型,并推导出了 HT-PEMFC 的火用效率、火用破坏指数(EDI)和火用可持续性指标(ESI)的数学表达式。根据 HT-PEMFC 模型,研究了不同操作参数(包括操作温度、入口压力和电流密度)下热力学不可逆性对 HT-PEMFC 火用可持续性的影响。结果表明,HT-PEMFC 的较高操作温度和入口压力有利于性能的提高。此外,由于 HT-PEMFC 的不可逆性的存在,单个电池的性能随着电流密度的增加而逐渐降低。
