Numerical Simulation of Fuel Processor for Fuel Cell Vehicles
In this paper,a two-dimensional mathematical model of a processor for fuel cell vehicleswas presented in order to predict the effect of the parameters on the hydrogen content of the processor.The structure of the processor and the operating parameters were taken into account in the model.Thecomplex physical and chemical process in the processor of dimethyl ether partial oxidation was welldescribed by this model.The mathematical model was introduced into the commercial softwarestar-cd,and then numerical simulations were also performed based on this model.In order toaccounting for the effect of the processor temperature and volume fraction field,Tgrid mesh methodand laminar flow model were selected.Experimental verification of the two-dimensionalmathematical model was implemented on self-designed equipment.The result indicates that thecomputed data is in good agreement with the experiment one.Finally,on the basis of themathematical model,the effect of the parameters on the hydrogen content of the processor wereinvestigated.
