| Popis: | This paper deals with the comparative study between the fuel cell hydrogen based and the fuel cells alcohol based such as (methanol, ethanol, propanol-1 , propanol-2, 1-butanol, (1-propanol, 2-methyl), 2-butanol, (2-propanol, 2-methyl)). Indeed this comparative study is focusing mainly on the main thermodynamic and electrical properties of fuel cell such as the produced electromotive force (EMF), the energy density (ED) and the efficiency. These properties are analyzed based on their behaviors subject to the influence of the basic parameters that are presenting practically the most important impact on the fuel cell performances, such as the temperature, the pressure, the oxygen molar concentration and the fuel boiling point. On the other side, the variation of these parameters is taken respect to a specific range which can fit the practical applications. Finally, this paper presents the simulation results of the behavior of the EMF, the energy density and the efficiency of the hydrogen fuel cell and the alcohols fuel cells function of the variation of the aforementioned parameters such as the temperature, the pressure and the oxygen molar concentration separately, where the main aim is to evaluate their influences on the studied fuel cells. |
