ABSTRACT
Ultrasounds are used in many and various applications such sonochemistry disintegration, degassing, cleaning, measuring, machining and can be applied to accelerate and optimize the electrochemical processes that occur in a fuel cell. The main fuel cell electrochemical reactions and overall processes are brief described for a various cells type with focus on proton exchange membrane fuel cell. exploitation can potentially solved by using ultrasounds systems.
Keywords: ultrasounds, fuel cell, hydrogen, electrochemistry, sonochemistry. *Corresponding author: Dorin Schitea, Ioan Iordache, phone: 0250.732.744, fax: 0250.732.746, E-mail: dorin.schitea@icsi.ro; iordache.ioan@icsi.ro 2University Politehnica of Bucharest, Faculty of Engineering and Management of Technological Systems,313 Splaiul Independentei Street, Sector 6, Bucharest, 011061, Romania 3University Politehnica of Bucharest, Faculty of Entrepreneurship, Business Engineering and Management (FAIMA), 1-7, Polizu Street, Sector1, Bucharest, 011061, Romania |
