Modeling and Behavior Analysis of a Membraneless Fuel Cell

Table 2

Technical considerations on FEM used to find out numerical solutions of mathematical models for membraneless fuel cells depicted in Cases A.1, A.2, and B. A refined mesh was needed in the last Case to numerically capture the Arrhenius-like electric reactions on the anode.
