Numerical optimization of bipolar plates and gas diffusion layers for PEM fuel cells

摘要

Unfortunately, several symbols were misrepresented or The boundary conditions are omitted in the above-mentioned paper: In the List of symbols on p.1, the symbol for "Potential V" should be "phi" instead of "PHI". In the boundary conditions denned in paragraph 2.2 of this paper, the symbol"< = " has been omitted several times. Paragraph 2.2 should have appeared as follows: 2.2. Governing equations and boundary conditions The Stephan-Maxwell equation was used to describe mass transfer in the bipolar plate channels and gas diffusion layers. The distribution of gas flow in the channels was described by means of the Navier-Stokes equation for quasi-steady flow. The proton flux in the membrane and electrocatalytic layer was calculated using the Nernst-Planck equation. Thermal processes were described through appropriate heat transfer equations.
