Abstract

The presence of liquid water on PEMFC has an effect on PEMFC's performance. PEMFC performance that is influenced by humidity (Relative Humidity) is very influential on the humidity at the anode (RHA) and humidity at the cathode (RHK). Therefore in this study water distribution and gas flow rates were carried out to determine PEMFC's performance. The results obtained in the form of color images. Distribution of water mass fraction that is safe that is the water content that is in PEMFC in a state of dryness or flooding that is marked in green on the serpentine channel.

Keywords: water management, water mass fraction distribution, serpentine channel
