Efficiency Enhancement on Hybrid Power System Composed of Irreversible Solid Oxide Fuel Cell and Stirling Engine by Finite Time Thermodynamics

This paper presents the work for efficiency enhancement on a hybrid power system with an irreversible Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) and Stirling Engine (SE) various design using approach of finite-time thermodynamics. The SOFC-based cogeneration was integrated SE several heat components. effects configurations interface components performance were investigated. By analyzing thermodynamics considering multiple factors output given by SOFC, calculation can be more practical accurate. In this study, working proposed enhanced 16.37% compared to that conventional at intermediate temperature 873 K. herein is considered essential package building highly efficient systems in range.
