...Stefano Cordiner; Alessandro Mariani; Vincenzo Mulone Microtubular solid oxide fuel cells (MT-SOFCs) are interesting for portable and auxiliary power units energy production systems, due to their extremely fast startup time. However, a single cell provides power in the range of 1 W, thus the number...

...P. W. Li; M. K. Chyu This paper begins with a brief review of the thermodynamic and electrochemical fundamentals of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Issues concerning energy budget and ideal energy conversion efficiency of the electrochemical processes in an SOFC are addressed. Chemical equilibrium...

...Jinliang Yuan; Bengt Sundén A new trend in recent years is to reduce the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) operating temperature to an intermediate range by employing either a thin electrolyte, or new materials for the electrolyte and electrodes. In this paper, a numerical investigation is presented...

...Pei-Wen Li; Laura Schaefer; Minking K. Chyu A numerical model is presented in this work that computes the interdependent fields of flow, temperature, and mass fractions in a single tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Fuel gas from a pre-reformer is considered to contain H 2 , CO, CO 2 , H 2 O...
