An Investigation of Direct Hydrocarbon (Propane) Fuel Cell Performance Using Mathematical Modeling

Figure 12

The effect of the fuel cell operating temperature, T (°C), on the polarization curve for a direct propane fuel cell (DPFC) model at 1 atm. The values of T (°C) for the above three cases were represented by the following symbols: (i) open circles: 250°C, (ii) solid diamonds: 150°C (reference case), and (iii) open triangles: 100°C. All the other parameters were the same as the reference case mentioned in Table 1.
