“…Some methods are being considered to improve the system efficiency, such as changing system configurations and optimizing operation methods. Zehua Pan et al [1] put forward a system design that removed stream from the syngas before it entered the cell. Although the liquid water would take away some heat, a higher system efficiency was achieved due to the higher concentration of H2 in the syngas.…”

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) can use a wide variety of carbon-based fuels. Diesel can act as a high-quantity fuel because of its high heat value and ease of transport. In this study, three different system configurations were proposed by a model in ASPEN PLUS V12 and fitted by data measured in the large size cell. The effects of key operation parameters, including reforming temperature, steam-to-carbon ratio (S/C) and recycling rate of the anode off-gas, were studied, which were characterized by the system efficiency and output power. As a result, the highest system efficiency was gotten with a water condenser and an anode off-gas recycling module in the system. The best operation method occurs when the thermal load of the diesel reformer is compensated by the heat released by anode off-gas combustion. This research will lay a theoretical foundation for the upcoming design of a physical diesel-based SOFC system.

“…The dataset was augmented through image flipping and rotation. The dataset contains microstructural images and corresponding macroscopic properties of nickel-yttria stabilized zirconia (Ni-YSZ) anodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), known as green energy conversion devices (Yan et al, 2019b;Xu et al, 2021;Pan et al, 2022). In these numerical samples of Ni-YSZ composite anodes, the porosity was varied in the range of 0-20% and the proportion of Ni in the Ni-YSZ was varied in the range of 30-70%.…”

PurposeIn recent years, the convolutional neural network (CNN) based deep learning approach has succeeded in data-mining the relationship between microstructures and macroscopic properties of materials. However, such CNN models usually rely heavily on a large set of labeled images to ensure the accuracy and generalization ability of the predictive models. Unfortunately, in many fields, acquiring image data is expensive and inconvenient. This study aims to propose a data augmentation technique to enhance the performance of the CNN models for linking microstructural images to the macroscopic properties of composites.Design/methodology/approachMicrostructures of composites are synthesized using discrete element simulations and Potts kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Macroscopic properties such as the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, shear modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion, and triple-phase boundary length density are extracted on representative volume elements. The CNN model is trained using the 3D microstructural images as inputs and corresponding macroscopic properties as the labels. The comparison of the predictive performance of the CNN models with and without data augmentation treatment are compared.FindingsThe comparison between the prediction performance of CNN models with and without data augmentation showed that the former reduced the weighted mean absolute percentage error (WMAPE) for the prediction from 5.1627% to 1.7014%. This significant reduction signifies that the proposed data augmentation method can effectively enhance the generalization ability and robustness of CNN models.Originality/valueThis study demonstrates that data augmentation is beneficial for solving the problems of model overfitting, data scarcity, and sample imbalance for CNN-based deep learning tasks at a low cost. By developing more and advanced data augmentation techniques, deep learning accelerated homogenization will boost the multi-scale computational mechanics and materials.
