Systems and Process Design (10a)

#497 - Design & Optimization of Fuel Cell Systems (10A07)
Presentations are solicited in the general area of design and optimization of fuel cell systems. Fundamental and applied papers from component to system level for all types of fuel cells and fuel cell systems are of interest. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, electrolyte, electrode and flow field designs, stack designs and balance of plant designs. Of particular interest are papers proposing generalized design/optimization schemes that can be applied or adapted to a variety of applications.
