AIR SYSTEM MANAGEMENT FOR FUEL CELL VEHICLE APPLICATIONS

The focus of this study is on the air management system of the fuel cell powertrain in vehicle applications. Specifically, the study examines the numeric simulation using fundamental calculations and characterization of existing laboratory data. It attempts to determine which model design will realistically characterize the performance of a laboratory-tested air system. The study also looks at the relative differences in system performance when the air system configuration has been altered.
