Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are at the dawn of commercialization. Their
operation and design characteristics, hence their performance, are closely linked to the …

Permeability is an important hydraulic parameter for characterizing heat and mass transfer
properties of fibrous porous media. However, it is difficult to be quantitatively predicted due …

In the past decades, there was considerable controversy over the Lucas–Washburn (LW)
equation widely applied in capillary imbibition kinetics. Many experimental results showed …

An analytical model is presented for the transverse permeability of gas diffusion layer (GDL)
based on an ordered array of parallel charged circular cylinders at the steady state. The …

Tree bifurcation network has always been a hot issue concerning scientists all over the
world. However, the research on the heat conduction properties of damaged tree-like …

Fractal model provides an alternative and useful means for studying the transport
phenomenon in porous media and analyzing the macroscopic transport properties of porous …

In this paper, a permeability model is derived for porous media, which are assumed to be
comprised of a bundle of tortuous capillaries whose size distribution and roughness of …

We demonstrate that permeability of isotropic porous media eg, open-cell foams can be
analytically presented as a function of two morphological parameters: porosity and pore …

In this work, considering the effect of porosity, pore size, saturation of water and tortuosity
fractal dimension, an analytical model for the capillary pressure and water relative …

Mass transport through porous media is an important subject to engineers and scientists in
various areas including oil engineering, fuel cells, soil science, textile engineering, etc. The …
