Fuel cell test conditions

Extends from FCSys.Icons.Record (Icon for records).

Information

Some conditions are taken from the outer environment model. In particular,

  1. environment.T is used as the initial temperature throughout the cell, the temperature at each inlet, and the exterior temperature of each end plate in the yz plane.
  2. environment.p is used as the initial pressure throughout the cell and the pressure at each outlet.
  3. environment.RH is used as the initial relative humidity throughout the cell.
  4. environment.psi_O2_dry is used as the dry-gas concentration of O2 at the cathode inlet.
