Fuel cells convert the chemical energy in fuels (hydrogen and hydrocarbons such as methane, butane, gasoline or diesel) into electrical energy to power devices. EU researchers developed a simplified computational model simulating flow distribution within the fuel cell stack with the potential to enhance performance and efficiency and thus the widespread implementation of this clean, renewable form of energy.
