Computational analysis of IR-SOFC: Thermodynamic, electrochemical process and flow configuration dependency

Fuel cell is the most promising candidate for future energy system as it is energy efficient and utilizes a renewable fuel. However, there still is need for upgradation and a fully paired computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach (based on the finite volume method). A 3D simulation of planar Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) having internal reforming has been carried out by examining the geometry of a single cell which comprises of a fuel channel,...
