While, in the experiment of 40 ºC, the interchange in voltage ratings are between 0.53 V and 0.78 V, mean values in the experiment of 60 ºC are between 0.61 V and 0.79 V.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:This study is focused on sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ) and a cell based experimental analysis of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell.
📊
Key Findings & Data:By keeping NaBH 4 , citric acid (C 6 H 8 O 7 ) which is used as a catalyzer and pure water at a static charge, the interchange of a cell based voltage rating of PEM fuel cell with ten cells at two different temperatures is evaluated. 3 g NaBH 4 , H 2 O/NaBH 4 : 2 mol/mol (x=0) and C 6 H 8 O 7 catalyzer/NaBH 4 : 0.1 g/g and 250 cm 3 of reactor volume production are realized.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:While, in the experiment of 40 ºC, the interchange in voltage ratings are between 0.53 V and 0.78 V, mean values in the experiment of 60 ºC are between 0.61 V and 0.79 V.

When the water temperature was raised to 60 ºC from 40 ºC, total voltage rating increased 6.1%. While, in the experiment of 40 ºC, the interchange in voltage ratings are between 0.53 V and 0.78 V, mean values in the experiment of 60 ºC are between 0.61 V and 0.79 V.
