A244 超音波を用いた燃料電池内ガス拡散層における水分検出(超音波・電磁波による熱流体計測2)
詳細
Thermal efficiency of polymer electrolyte fuel cell extremely depends on a water distribution in Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL). Fuel cell model was prepared in order to investigate the water distribution in GDL by ultrasonic techniques. Acoustic impedance of GDL, which is porous plate of carbon, was estimated as bulk model to know approximated value of reflection ratio of ultrasonic echo. We attempted to measure an instantaneous ultrasonic echo that changes by the quantity of the water to detect existing water in GDL. And we focused on the phase delay and the amplitude change of the ultrasonic echo and analyzed the waveform.
