Optimal design of a micro-tubular fuel cell
We discuss the problem of the optimal design of a micro-tubular fuel cell applying an inverse homogenization technique. Fuel cells are extremely clean and efficient electrochemical power generation devices, made up of a cathode/electrolyte/anode structure, whose energetic potential has not being fully exploited in propulsion systems in aeronautics due to their low power densities. Nevertheless,...
متن کاملA Micro Fuel Cell Stack without Interconnect Overhead – Macro World-like Stacks in Mems
This paper describes a unique method for vertically stacking microfabricated fuel cells (MFC). Both electrical and fluidic interconnects are reduced to a minimum, and the stacking can be continued without increasing the complexity of the structure. The method allows for a practically unlimited number of elements in the vertical stack. A two-cell stack has been fabricated and the results are rep...
متن کاملMicro-tubular solid oxide fuel cell based on a porous yttria-stabilized zirconia support
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are promising electrochemical energy conversion devices owing to their high power generation efficiency and environmentally benign operation. Micro-tubular SOFCs, which have diameters ranging from a few millimeters to the sub-millimeter scale, offer several advantages over competing SOFCs such as high volumetric power density, good endurance against thermal cyclin...
متن کاملA Simple Thermal Model of Pem Fuel Cell Stacks
A simple model is developed that determines the temperature distribution through a unit fuel cell with straight flow channels, in steady state operation. Using the large aspect ratio of the typical fuel cell geometry, the thermal model approximately decouples cross-plane thermal transport at each channel location. Using the fact that in-plane thermal conductivities are much larger than through-...
متن کاملCompact bipolar plate-free direct methanol fuel cell stacks.
Fuel cells with a PtAu/C anode and a Pr-doped Mn(2)O(3)/C cathode were stacked without using a bipolar plate, and their discharge properties were investigated in a methanol aqueous solution bubbled with air. A three-cell stack exhibited a stack voltage of 2330 mV and a power output of 21 mW.
