← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an ammonia fuel cell is internally cooled via recirculated hydrogen gas?
A)Decreased platinum catalyst surface area
B)Elevated electrolyte membrane pore blockage
C)Increased hydrogen permeation resistance
D)Reduced thermal runaway propagation rate✓
💡 Explanation
Thermal runaway is mitigated because the recirculated, cooled hydrogen gas facilitates *convective heat transfer* away from hot spots. Therefore, localized exothermic reactions are arrested, and thermal runaway spread slows, rather than accelerating via conductive heating.
