Performance analysis proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack by using test rig / Mohd Fadhli Azizi Md Zailan

The purpose of this project is to study on the performance analysis PEMFC stack by using Test Station. The performance of a PEM fuel cell was investigated to find the c. best power output, temperature in every stack and find the damage in the stack. The power output of a PEMFC stack is influenced by...
