SERPENTINE FLOW FIELD WITH VARYING NUMBERS OF CHANNEL PORTIONS

摘要

An exemplary flow field of the present invention includes a plurality of flow channel portions. There are n inlet sections configured to introduce fluid into the flow field. A plurality of first passage portions direct fluid flow in a first direction. A plurality of second passage portions direct fluid flow in a second direction substantially parallel to and opposite to the first direction. A plurality of third passage portions direct fluid flow in a first direction. The n outlet sections are configured to allow the fluid to exit the flow field. n is an integer, and the number of portions in at least one of the plurality of passage portions is an integer multiple of n.
