Abstract

In this modern era, the demand for efficient and environmentally friendly energy sources is increasing. One technology with significant potential to meet this demand is the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). This study aims to investigate the influence of channel width and depth variations in parallel bipolar plate designs on PEMFC performance. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was employed to analyze hydrogen flow distribution and pressure across various design variations. The results demonstrate that channel width and depth significantly affect pressure distribution and flow velocity, which in turn influence the efficiency of the PEMFC system. Increasing channel width generally reduces maximum pressure, while deeper channels help to distribute pressure more evenly across the bipolar plate. Optimized channel width and depth can enhance PEMFC operational performance by reducing pressure drop and promoting uniform flow distribution.

Abstract

This study presents the design and fabrication of a GRBL-based 3-Axis CNC Milling Machine for laboratory and small-scale industry applications. The system is controlled by an Arduino Uno using GRBL firmware, with NEMA 17 stepper motors and a DC 775 spindle. The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method was applied to align the design with user requirements. The machine features a 600 × 400 mm working area, 200 Watt power consumption, and spindle speed ranging from 3,000 to 12,000 RPM. Testing results demonstrate high precision and energy efficiency. This machine is suitable for digital manufacturing education and prototyping.
