Transcribed Image Text:
2.14 Consider a dimethylether [DME, (CH3)2 O] fuel cell
stack running at a DME stoichiometry (DME) of 2.4 and a
cathode oxygen Faradic efficiency (8) of 0.3. There are 15
cells (connected in series) in the stack, all operating at 0.4 V.
The active area of all cells in the stack is 25 cm², and the
current density of each cell is 0.1 A/cm².
The anode electrochemical reaction is
(CH3)20+ 3H2O12H + 12e+2CO₂
The cathode electrochemical reaction is
O2+4e+4H2H₂O
with the following molecular weights:
DME 44 g/mol
H₂O 18 g/mol
O₂ 32 g/mol
Air 28.85 g/mol
(a) How many moles of water are created at the cath-
ode per mole of DME?
(b) What is the theoretical consumption rate of DME
at the anode in grams per second? What is the
actual supply rate in grams per second?
(c) What is the theoretical consumption rate of H₂O
at the anode in grams per second?
(d) What is the actual supply rate of air at the cathode
in grams per hour?
(e) Would a DME fuel cell theoretically need a water
storage tank? Explain your answer.
