Computational analysis of IR-SOFC: Transient, thermal stress, carbon deposition and flow dependency

In this paper, simulation of three dimensional model of anode supported planar solid oxide fuel cell with internal reforming has been carried out for both co flow and counter flow configuration operating in steady and transient state modes using a twin approach i.e. computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element method (FEM). The impact of operating pressure, recirculation ratio, and air ratio on cell performance has been investigated....
