This work involves the design of a control system for a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell System, specifically for a 1.2 kW vehicular application and optimization of temperature, fuel feed flow rates, pressure and other associated operating parameters of the system using Aspen Custom Modeler V9 .

Examined a turbulent two-phase flow consisting of air sparged into a water-filled mixing lab reactor in ANYSYS Fluent. The Eulerian multiphase model was used to simulate the mixing tank processes since the air and water phases are not in equilibrium throughout the simulation. 

Implemented two numerical methods. This project included generation of steady state parameters, generation of dynamic profiles for the system using numerical methods. Compared the performances of the numerical methods.

Generation of grid, discretisation and solution of equations were carried out for various geometries in both 1- D and 2- D diffusion problems. Algebraic equations are then solved using Thomas algorithm to obtain the distribution of the property at nodal points.
