THICK ELECTRODE DIRECT REACTION FUEL CELLS UTILIZING CROSS-FLOWS AND TAYLOR VORTEX FLOWS

摘要

Direct reaction fuel cells (10) with cross-flow of an electrolyte mixture through thick, porous electrodes (12, 18) that contain a mixture of catalyst particles and that rotate to generate Taylor Vortex Flows (54) and Circular Couette Flows (56) in electrolyte chambers (24) are disclosed.
