PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell stack heat distribution simulation method by which the three-dimensional temperature distribution of a fuel cell stack can be estimated by improving a calculation speed while ensuring sufficient calculation accuracy.SOLUTION: The fuel cell stack heat distribution simulation method has the step in which, if dimensions in the width direction, height direction, and thickness direction of a fuel cell stack 10 are represented by A, B, and C, respectively, each of quantities of heat released by heat transmitted from the upper face and lower face, respectively, of the fuel cell stack 10 is represented by a, and quantities of heat released by radiation from the upper face and lower face, respectively, of the fuel cell stack 10 is represented by b, a quantity E1 of heat released by heat transmission and radiation, per unit area of the fuel cell stack 10 is converted in a quantity E2 of heat released by heat transmission and radiation per unit volume of the fuel cell stack 10, which is calculated by the following expression: 2×(a+b)/(A×B×C). |
