Abstract:A two‐dimensional finite element model is developed to study the reaction kinetics and heat transfer during the self‐propagating high‐temperature synthesis of La0.6Sr0.4MnO3, a cathode and interconnect material used in solid oxide fuel cells. The activation energy of La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 formation was calculated from experimental temperature history. The calculated spatial‐temporal temperature profile, heat generation rate, reaction conversion, and flow pattern of surrounding gas during the reaction are reported in … 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.
