Abstract:Typical operating temperature for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) ranges from 700°C to 800°C. A large temperature gradient and thermal stress are induced by internal losses and electro-chemical reactions, resulting in significant structural damage and performance degradation of a SOFC stack, which has become a hindrance to its applications. In this study, a three-dimensional multi-physics CFD model is developed and employed to study the temperature and thermal stress distribution of a planar SOFC stack, then ef… Show more
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.
