Droplet dynamic characteristics on PEM fuel cell cathode gas diffusion layer with gradient pore size distribution

Yulin Wang et al.

Summary: This study comprehensively investigated droplet dynamic characteristics on fuel cell cathode GDL with gradient pore size distribution (GPSD). Results show that droplets have shorter detachment time and smaller detachment radius on superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic GDLs. Large pores can facilitate droplet detachment but also increase droplet detachment radius and pressure drop. Different GPSDs can reduce droplet detachment time and pressure drop.

Experimental study on thermoelectric power generation based on cryogenic liquid cold energy

Minghui Ge et al.

Summary: This study designed and built a thermoelectric power generation system for cold energy. The experimental results showed that the temperature difference between the hot and cold ends increased in the liquid-phase and two-phase regions, but decreased and then increased in the gas-phase region. The poor heat transfer capacity at the hot end of the generator restricted the improvement of the temperature difference at the hot and cold ends.
