520 3 _aA serpentine flow channel is one of the most common and practical channel layouts for a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM)fuel cell since it ensures the removal of water produced in a cell with acceptable parasitic load. During the reactant flows along the flow channel, it can also leak or cross to neighboring channel via the porous gas diffusion layer due to the high pressure gradient caused by the short distance. Such a cross flow leads to a larger effective flow area altering reactant flow in the flow channel so that the resultant pressure and flow distributions are substantially different from that without considering cross flow, even though this cross flow has largely been ignored in previous studies. In this work, a numerical and experimental study has been carried out to investigate the cross flow in a PEM fuel cell. Experimental measurements revealed that the pressure drop in a PEM fuel cell is significantly lower than that without cross flow. Three-dimensional numerical simulation has been performed for wide ranges of flow rate, permeability and thickness of gas diffusion layer to analyze the effects of those parameters on the resultant cross flow and the pressure drop of the reactant streams. Considerable amount of cross flow through gas diffusion layer has been found in flow simulation and its effect on pressure drop becomes more significant as the permeability and the thickness of gas diffusion layer are increased. The effects of this phenomenon are also crucial for effective water removal from the porous electrode structure and for estimating pumping energy requirement in a PEM fuel cell, it cannot be neglected for the analysis, simulation, design, operation and performance optimization of practical PEM fuel cells.
