Systematic experiments have been conducted to study the effects of various operating parameters on the performance of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The effects of cell operating temperature, anode flow rate, air flow rate, and methanol concentration have been studied. The experimental results showed that the operating parameters have significant effects on the DMFC performances, and some of the effects are complicated and deserve further detailed studies. Selected results are presented in this paper. A three dimensional, single-phase, multi-component model has been developed for liquid-feed DMFC. The traditional continuity, momentum, and species conservation equations are used. At the anode, liquid phase is considered, and at the cathode, only gas phase is considered. In addition to the regular electrochemical kinetics at the anode and cathode, the mixed potential effects due to methanol crossover are also included in the model. The modeling results compared well with our experimental data.
