Constructing global models from past publications to improve design and operating conditions for direct alcohol fuel cells

- Database for DAFC (4682 data points, 271 IV curve) was constructed.
- Data mining tools were used to extract knowledge from the database.
- Decision tree analysis was used to find conditions for high power density.
- Neural network analysis was used to predict power at unknown conditions.
- Relative significances of variables were determined by neural network.
