Consider a PEM (polymer electrolyte memhrac) fiel eell power module operating at 80C and andard atmospheric presure using bytrogen gas as a fuel and air (a 10C and 60%6 relative humidity) as an oxidant. The fuel cell has an effective area of 100cm3 and epentes at 0.7V, while generating 0.6Ncm2 of current. Fandry's constant is 96,485 coulamits per mole of electrons.
a) Brienly outline the desige and operation of the PEM fell cell power module using appropriate
(15 marks) schematics to illustrate your answer.
b) Calculate the electrical power generated (in kW) and thermal energy rejected (in b/hin) by (15 marks) this fuel cell.
