Larminie_Model#

This module provides methods for modeling fuel cell performance using the Larminie-Dicks model.

It includes functionality for computing voltage, power, and performance characteristics of fuel cells based on electrochemical principles. The Larminie-Dicks model is a semi-empirical approach that accounts for activation losses, ohmic losses, and concentration losses in fuel cells, making it suitable for system-level design and analysis of fuel cell powertrains.
