Abstract

Increasing environmental concerns with climate change have led many people around the world to demand urgent action, forcing national governments to seek alternatives to carbon-based fuels. In the light of all this, it is of critical importance for our civilization that carbon-based energy sources are rapidly replaced by renewable and sustainable sources without carbon emissions. For this reason, the use of these clean energy sources and the efficiency of the processes in their production is a very important issue. In this study, 3-dimensional, two-phase (hydrogen and water) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed in a polymer electrolysis membrane cell (PEM). Analysis took place for 30 seconds. The water flow rate was kept constant at 260 ml/min. As a result of the analysis, pressure, gas volume fraction and velocity data in the manifolds and in the electrolysis channels where the electrolysis process takes place were interpreted. While the pressure change in the cell was quite high in the range of 0-1.8 seconds from the beginning of the flow, it was observed that a balance was formed in the pressure distribution after 1.8 seconds. It is understood that the number of channels in the model is a factor for the pressure inside the manifold and the cell. However, it was observed that the unit gas production amount in the cell also changed along the channels.

Abstract

İklim değişikliğiyle beraber yükselen çevresel kaygılar, dünyada birçok insanın acil eylem talep etmesine yol açarak, ulusal hükümetleri karbon kaynaklı yakıtların alternatiflerini aramaya mecbur bırakmıştır. Tüm bunların ışığında karbon kaynaklı enerji kaynaklarının yerini süratle karbon emisyonu olmayan yenilenebilir ve sürdürülebilir kaynakların alması medeniyetimiz için kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Bu sebeple bu temiz enerji kaynaklarının kullanımı ve üretimindeki proseslerin verimliliği oldukça önemli bir konudur. Bu çalışmada bir polimer elektroliz membran hücresinde (PEM), 3 boyutlu, iki fazlı (hidrojen ve su) hesaplamalı akışkanlar dinamiği (CFD) analizi yapılmıştır. Analiz 30 sn boyunca gerçekleşmiştir. Su akış hızı 260 ml/dk olarak sabit tutuldu. Analiz sonucunda manifoltlarda ve elektroliz işleminin gerçekleştiği elektroliz kanallarında basınç, gaz hacim fraksiyonu ve hız verileri yorumlandı. Akış başlangıcından itibaren 0-1.8 sn aralığında hücre içindeki basınç değişimi oldukça fazlayken, 1,8.saniyeden sonra basınç dağılımında bir dengenin oluştuğu gözlemlenmiştir. Modeldeki kanal sayısının manifold ve hücre içindeki basınç için bir faktör olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Bununla birlikte hücredeki birim gaz üretim miktarının da kanallar boyunca değiştiği gözlemlenmiştir.
