Performance analysis of a SOFC under direct internal reforming conditions
This paper presents the performance analysis of a planar solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) under direct internal reforming conditions. A detailed olid-oxide fuel cell model is used to study the influences of various operating parameters on cell performance. Significant differences in efficiency nd power density are observed for isothermal and adiabatic operational regimes. The influence of air numbe...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Heterogeneous Reactions in an SOFC Anode with Oxygen Addition
Previous experimental studies have shown that addition of small amounts of oxygen to a hydrocarbon fuel stream can control coking in the anode, while relatively large amounts of oxygen are present in the fuel stream in single-chamber solid oxide fuel cells SOFCs . In order to rationally design an anode for such use, it is important to understand the coupled catalytic oxidation/ reforming chemis...
متن کاملReforming of JP-8 in Microplasmas for Compact SOFC Power
The attractive aspects of fuels cells for replacement of batteries in lightweight applications are offset by the need to efficiently produce a hydrogen feed stream on demand. Hydrogen is itself impractical for storage and hydrocarbon fuels provide the highest density form of hydrogen storage when taking into account both weight and volume. Currently, traditional catalytic processes are used for...
متن کاملCFD modeling and control of a steam methane reforming reactor
This work initially focuses on developing a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of an industrialscale steam methane reforming reactor (reforming tube) used to produce hydrogen. Subsequently, we design and evaluate three different feedback control schemes to drive the area-weighted average hydrogen mole fraction measured at the reforming tube outlet ( x̄H outlet 2 ) to a desired set-point va...
متن کاملSurfKin: An ab initio kinetic code for modeling surface reactions
In this article, we describe a C/C++ program called SurfKin (Surface Kinetics) to construct microkinetic mechanisms for modeling gas-surface reactions. Thermodynamic properties of reaction species are estimated based on density functional theory calculations and statistical mechanics. Rate constants for elementary steps (including adsorption, desorption, and chemical reactions on surfaces) are ...
