An entirely numerical design procedure, based on computational fluid dynamics is introduced to evaluate the perfomance of different polymer electrolyte fuel cell layouts and sets of operating conditions for assigned target parameters in terms of perforamcne. The design procedure has been applied to a coflow design, characterized by large active area (500 cm^2), moderate temperature (70 C), liquid cooling and metal supporting. The role of heat transfer between the cell and the cooling system is analyzed to properly address the influence of operating conditions on power density and flooding via a comprehensive parametrica analysis.
