Abstract:A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system integrated with an ethanol steam reforming stage is evaluated considering the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The irreversibility losses distribution and the plant energy and exergy efficiencies are studied under different process conditions (823
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
