“…Although reforming of hydrocarbons does not seem to be a highly promising way to supply the fuel cell for the power train of cars, there is a substantial work done on smaller units, such as auxiliary power units (APUs) for cars, [134] or as remote power source, for example in camping or boat applications. Such systems deliver from several hundred to 5 kW, and closeto-commercial units for use with LPG are available.…”

Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier in future energy systems. However, storage of hydrogen is a substantial challenge, especially for applications in vehicles with fuel cells that use proton-exchange membranes (PEMs). Different methods for hydrogen storage are discussed, including high-pressure and cryogenic-liquid storage, adsorptive storage on high-surface-area adsorbents, chemical storage in metal hydrides and complex hydrides, and storage in boranes. For the latter chemical solutions, reversible options and hydrolytic release of hydrogen with off-board regeneration are both possible. Reforming of liquid hydrogen-containing compounds is also a possible means of hydrogen generation. The advantages and disadvantages of the different systems are compared.

“…The catalytic SR is modeled as a multifunctional isothermal reactor, based on micro-channel technology, strictly integrated with the catalytic combustor I-AFB fed with both primary fuel and the exhaust from the stack anode compartment. The feasibility of this technology has been validated both experimentally and by modeling [14,15,29,30,[97][98][99][100]. Each SR plate channel is surrounded on both sides by combustion plate channels to provide the heat necessary to drive the endothermic reaction.…”

“…The complexity of a fuel-cell-based APUs is liable of the actual general situation: in the open literature there are not experimental validations of the whole apparatus, but at least of the fuel processing section [14][15][16]28,30], most of the time realized with heavy governmental grants [61]. Various companies, investing money and resources, are working on the development of reliable APUs to enter the selling markets (see the EU situation in [10], and [30]), but they are slowed down by technical and economic difficulties (in the EU area only one company possesses a marketable apparatus [10]).…”

AbstractA three-dimensional, unstructured, multi-species reacting flow solver is developed to model solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as well as catalytic reactors. The finite volume based solver utilizes density-based method to solve the coupled system of governing equations. Numerical results for both SOFC and reactor obtained using the inhouse code are compared with the experimental results from the literature for validation purposes. Effects of mass flow rates of incoming species on performance of SOFC as well as catalytic reactor are investigated. Two different methods namely direct differentiation and discrete adjoint method are implemented in the code to compute sensitiv...
