<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a performance evaluation method of fuel cells capable of shortening a development time using a simulation. <P>SOLUTION: The calculation method of the amount of power generation of a fuel cell is made by correlating a flow path pattern to physical property for a fuel cell that generates power by flowing fuel gas into a flow path having a prescribed pattern. The calculation of power generation is carried out by using a model (10) that is made by correlating the physical property to a similar figure shaped by reducing a flow path pattern (1). Based on the method, the number of meshes used as unit of the calculation can be reduced as the model (10) is used as a reduced similar figure, and further due to a similar figure, a correlation with the actual flow path (1) is strong. Therefore, by utilizing such a model as the model (10), performance evaluation to meet an actual flow path can be done and both of the production time of a model and the calculation time of power generation for a model can be shortened. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
