A parametric study of the heat and mass diffusion dimensionless parameter in SOFC with DIR by lattice Boltzmann method

In the present study, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is employed to study the diffusion phenomenon in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with direct internal reforming (DIR). The main focus of this work is to correlate and estimate the diffusion coefficient through dimensionless numbers, i.e., Schmidt and Prandtl. This work tries to reveal the importance of reforming and electrochemical reactions on these dimensionless numbers in active and...
