Some conclusions are drawn by analyzing the curves. As the operating temperature increases, the negative impact of PEM fuel cell on various parameters due to irreversibility decreases; As the operating pressure increases, the negative impact of PEM fuel cell on various parameters due to irreversibility decreases; On the other hand, with the increase of current density, the negative impact of the PEM fuel cell on various parameters due to irreversibility increases.}, type={Article}, title={Exergetic sustainability indicators of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell at variable operating conditions}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/119575/art11.pdf}, keywords={PEM fuel cell, Exergy balance, Exergy analysis, Exergetic sustainability indicators}, }
