    摘要: A power generating system may include a plurality of bipolar plates stacked to form a fuel cell assembly having an inlet side, a non-inlet side, an inlet header extending from the inlet side to the non-inlet side, an active area, and an inlet transition area. The inlet transition area may be in fluid communication with (i) the inlet header via feed passageways formed in each of the plates and (ii) the active area. The feed passageways of the plates located proximate to the inlet side may be generally smaller and/or fewer in number than the feed passageways of the plates located proximate to the non-inlet side such that, during operation of the fuel cell assembly, a flow velocity of gas through the active area is generally constant.

    摘要: A method is provided for manufacturing a battery 18 having battery electrodes 20 and 22 with a desired porosity, using an electrochemical model 42 and a thermal model 44, that includes determining energy and current requirements for a particular application. Characteristics of the battery 18 in response to said energy and current requirements are determined. The battery characteristics and energy and current requirements are prepared for use in the electrochemical model 42 and the thermal model 44. The porosity of the battery electrodes is determined by solving equations within the electrochemical model 42 and the thermal model 44. Porosity of the battery electrodes is varied until voltage potential across the battery varies by less then a predetermined tolerance factor for an operating range state of charge. A paste mixture is created in response to the desired battery electrode porosity. The paste mixture is applied to a grid followed by curing of the grid and paste.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a flowmeter for measuring flow rate of a fluid independently of fluid viscosity or density. In at least on embodiment, the flowmeter includes an inlet, an outlet, and a cylindrical chamber. The flowmeter also includes an impeller assembly positioned within a cylindrical chamber for rotation at a variable speed. In at least one embodiment, the flow rate of the fluid is determined when a pressure differential between the fluid in the let and fluid in the outlet becomes substantially zero.
