This paper presents a study of the fuel cell system performance operating at low pressure. A polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEMFC) is analyzed in according with the possibility of using in transport applications. So, it begins with the description of a parametric model of the fuel cell which has been developed using a combination between empirical ...

Jerk, as the derivative of acceleration, is used more and more in the kinematic study of the systems characterised by short travels and requiring a high precision of positioning, including elevators, CNC machine tools, and industrial robots. The acceleration modeling using jerk variation serve as a basis for generating the functioning tahogrames of...
