Summary

The direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is the most prominent clean power generation method specifically suitable for portable applications. This paper presents a small DMFC stack with twenty-four cells which are assembled using the printed circuit board (PCB) technique. The DMFC stack is constructed as six modules with arrays of tiny airflow channels. The airflow is driven by a centrifugal or axial fan. This research investigates the airflow distribution at the surrounding inlet vents and the effect on cell performance.
