Cell Interaction Phenomena in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Stacks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cell interaction phenomena in polymer electrolyte fuel cell stacks that arise from imbalance between adjacent cells are investigated in detail experimentally and theoretically. A specialized two-cell stack with advanced localized diagnostics was developed and used to analyze the mechanism and effect of cell-to-cell coupling as a result of operationally relevant variations in reactant feed flow. Contributions to overall and local voltage changes with respect to uniformly operated cells are scrutinized. Unequal operation of the cells causes in-plane current in the bipolar plate to redistribute current and result in inhomogeneous polarization. Both increasing and decreasing polarization along the air-flow path reduces cell power as compared to isopotential operation. A two-dimensional model based on a commercial computational fluid dynamics code is used to back and extend the experimental results to more general cases. Furthermore, the experimental setup presented allowed for the first time to perform simultaneous localized electrochemical impedance spectroscopy beyond the single-cell level. The mechanism of mutual cell interaction on local and integral spectra is revealed. Results show that virtually identical operation of the cells is essential to obtain meaningful integral spectra.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
