Abstract
This paper investigates the nitrogen blanketing front during the dead-ended anode (DEA) operation of a PEM fuel cell. Surprisingly the dynamic evolution of nitrogen and water accumulation in the dead-ended anode (DEA) of a PEM fuel cell arrives to a steady-state suggesting the existence of equilibrium behavior. We use a multi-component model of the two-phase one-dimensional (along-the-channel) system behavior to analyze and exploit this phenomenon. Specifically, the model is first verified with experimental observations, and then utilized for showing the evolution towards equilibrium. The full order model is reduced to a second-order ordinary differential equation (ODE) with one state, which can be used to predict and amalyse the surprising but experimentally observed steady state DEA behavior.
