Consider a fuel cell vehicle. The vehicle draws 30 kW of power at 60 km/hr and is 50%  efficient at rated power. (It converts 50% of the energy stored in the hydrogen fuel to  electric power.) You are asked to size the fuel cell system so that a driver can go at least  300 km at 60 km/hr before refueling. Specify the minimum volume and mass requirements  for the fuel cell system (fuel cell + fuel tank) given the following information: a. Fuel cell power density: 1 kW/L, 500 W/kg

Question

 Consider a fuel cell vehicle. The vehicle draws 30 kW of power at 60 km/hr and is 50% 
efficient at rated power. (It converts 50% of the energy stored in the hydrogen fuel to 
electric power.) You are asked to size the fuel cell system so that a driver can go at least 
300 km at 60 km/hr before refueling. Specify the minimum volume and mass requirements 
for the fuel cell system (fuel cell + fuel tank) given the following information:
a. Fuel cell power density: 1 kW/L, 500 W/kg 
b. Fuel tank energy density (compressed hydrogen): 4 MJ/L, 70 MJ/k
