Optimization of Pipeline Topology for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Hydrothermal Management System
摘要
Based on the hydrothermal management system pipeline of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, reducing the flow resistance of the pipeline was accomplished. The flow resistance was calculated by using Star-CCM+ and Tosca for topology optimization and system modeling in one-dimensional simulation software GT-Suite. The results show that this method can effectively reduce the flow resistance of pipeline. The pipeline flow resistance was reduced by 24.4% by topology optimization.
