Modelling and Simulation of PEM Fuel Cells With CO Poisoning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell has been analyzed by applying the conservation principle to the gas channels, electrode backings, catalyst layers and polymer electrolyte. The conservation equations used are conservation of species, momentum and energy and the Nernst-Planck equation in the electrolyte. Oxygen reduction at the cathode is modeled using the Butler-Volmer equation while the adsorption, desorption and electro-oxidation of hydrogen and CO at the anode are modeled by the Tafel-Volmer and “reactant-pair” mechanism, respectively. Comparison of the anode electrochemical kinetics model to experimental data indicates that CO adsorption kinetics are Temkin. One-dimensional simulation of a PEM fuel cell operating with reformate fuel gas indicates an optimum operating pressure. Preliminary two-dimensional simulation verifies the one-dimensional assumption for mass transfer but indicates that a two-dimensional analysis is necessary for the catalyst layer.

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.
