Performance analysis of a SOFC under direct internal reforming conditions

“…Three source terms, Q r , Q h , and Q e , enter as the boundary condition for Eq. (15). The radiative heat transfer between the interconnect and the outer most discretized cell in the porous electrode is given by…”

“…However, an exact knowledge of phenomenological properties like absorption coefficient, refractive index, scattering coefficient, emissivity, and reflectivity is not available and hence represents an obstacle in modeling radiative heat transport in SOFC electrodes and electrolyte. A detailed discussion of radiation heat transfer in SOFC is given elsewhere [13][14][15][16]. In an analysis of spectral radiation in SOFC electrodes, Damm and Fedorov [14] proved that the radiation effects in SOFC electrodes are minimal and can safely be neglected.…”

“…Eqs. (1)-(4), (9), (10), (15), (20), (21), and (24) form a system of coupled non-linear equations which can be written in the residual form as…”

Review of the micro-tubular solid oxide fuel cell

“…This study found, in contrast to that of Daun et al [50] that the effect of radiation accounts for a few degrees in the cell temperature field and states that heat is predominately removed from the cells by convection. The authors remark that their opposite hypothesis to that of Murthy and Fedorov [51] is because of the different SOFC geometries involved. So it can be concluded that the geometry within a MT-SOFC reactor can have a huge bearing on the radiation effects.…”

“…However, Daun et al [50] state that due to the minor effect of thermal radiation on the temperature field in planar SOFC cells, that thermal radiation can be excluded from a detailed CFD analyses of a planar anode supported SOFC. To the contrary Murthy and Fedorov [51] found that ignoring radiation effects caused errors of 100 • C in the surrounding temperature fields. Damm and Fedorov [52] studied radiation with a twodimensional model of an anode supported SOFC.…”
