Abstract

We have proposed a unified approach to the modeling and study of developments in the field of MEMS and Nanotechnology and its application in futuristic Nano-enabled Cells. We have proposed a novel to approach reliability of MEMS enabled fuel cells. We know that reliability and accurate prediction of properties in nano domains remains a major challenge where still theories are being developed to predict the accurate model for the system. The necessity of a nonporous membrane has been eminent in recent fuel cells. The need for MEMS based models for porous silicon based membranes based on nano imprints technology has been met by modeling it in SUGAR in MATLAB environment. DMFC (Direct Methanol Fuel Cell) has benefited maximum from progression in MEMS technologies in bringing about advances in its existing framework. Reliability analysis is done to assess the application in real devices.
