Abstract
We develop a performance model for a polymer electrolyte membrane based regenerative hydrogen-bromine fuel cell (rHBFC). The model includes four voltage loss mechanisms: ohmic loss through the membrane, hydrogen electrode activation, bromine electrode activation, and bromine electrode mass transport. We explore a large parameter space by looking at the dependences of each of these losses as a function of two “operating parameters”, acid concentration and temperature; and five “engineering parameters”, bromine electrode exchange current density, hydrogen electrode exchange current density, membrane thickness, diffusion layer thickness, and hydrogen gas pressure. The relative importance of each of the losses is explored as both the engineering parameters and operating parameters are varied. The model is also compared to published experimental results on the performance of a hydrogen-bromine cell. By varying engineering parameters and operating parameters within plausible ranges, we project that, with further research, a cell of this design could be developed that operates at greater than 90% voltage efficiency at current densities 700 mA cm-2 in both electrolytic and galvanic modes and that has a peak galvanic power density of 2760 mW cm-2.

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 it
