Abstract

Effective water management is crucial for performing proton exchange membrane fuel cells. The liquid water can be directly observed using an Optically visualized proton exchange membrane fuel cell system that employs optical visualization technologies, which brings great convenience for water management. It is challenging to comprehensively understand and summarize the applications of these technologies. Through insightful analyses of relevant research results, this study provides the first comprehensive and categorized review of optical visualization technologies and their applications in water management. First, the study reviews optical visualization systems, focusing on their composition and differences between in-situ and ex-situ systems, the effects of transparent materials, imaging device selection, and image processing methods. These are key points for optical visualization systems. This can save a lot of time and economic costs in the design process. The review then categorizes the applications of optical visualization technologies in water management research, covering two-phase flow in porous regions and flow fields. This categorization helps to clearly understand the current state of research in different fields and the characteristics of the optical visualization systems used. Finally, a critical assessment of the problems and potential applications of optical visualization systems is presented. The purpose of this review is to provide relevant studies, practitioners and policy makers with a foundation and reference on optical visualization systems and the application of optical visualization techniques in water management research.

质子交换膜燃料电池中水管理的光学可视化技术应用综述
有效的水管理对于质子交换膜燃料电池的运行至关重要。采用光学可视化技术的光学可视化质子交换膜燃料电池系统可以直接观察到液态水,这为水管理带来了极大的便利。全面了解和总结这些技术的应用具有挑战性。本研究通过对相关研究成果的深入分析,首次对光学可视化技术及其在水资源管理中的应用进行了全面的分类综述。首先,该研究回顾了光学可视化系统,重点介绍了其组成、原位系统与非原位系统的区别、透明材料的影响、成像设备的选择以及图像处理方法。这些都是光学可视化系统的关键点。这可以在设计过程中节省大量时间和经济成本。随后,综述对光学可视化技术在水资源管理研究中的应用进行了分类,涵盖多孔区域和流场中的两相流动。这种分类有助于清楚地了解不同领域的研究现状以及所使用的光学可视化系统的特点。最后,对光学可视化系统的问题和潜在应用进行了批判性评估。本综述旨在为相关研究、从业人员和决策者提供光学可视化系统和光学可视化技术在水资源管理研究中应用的基础和参考。

期刊介绍: The mission of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews is to disseminate the most compelling and pertinent critical insights in renewable and sustainable energy, fostering collaboration among the research community, private sector, and policy and decision makers. The journal aims to exchange challenges, solutions, innovative concepts, and technologies, contributing to sustainable development, the transition to a low-carbon future, and the attainment of emissions targets outlined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews publishes a diverse range of content, including review papers, original research, case studies, and analyses of new technologies, all featuring a substantial review component such as critique, comparison, or analysis. Introducing a distinctive paper type, Expert Insights, the journal presents commissioned mini-reviews authored by field leaders, addressing topics of significant interest. Case studies undergo consideration only if they showcase the work's applicability to other regions or contribute valuable insights to the broader field of renewable and sustainable energy. Notably, a bibliographic or literature review lacking critical analysis is deemed unsuitable for publication.
