In this paper, we develop two computational models for the electrical performance of the tubular solid oxide fuel cell designed by Siemens Westinghouse Corporation. The first model makes simplifying assumptions for activation and concentration polarizations and obtains an analytical solution. In the second procedure, we allow the polarizations to vary with the current density and solve the equa...

the application of conductive coatings on ferritic stainless steel can decrease electrical conductivity. theaim of this research was to investigate the electrical conductivity of cobalt coated aisi 430 ferritic stainlesssteel by pack cementation technique. coated coupons were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy(sem). electrical conductivity of the coated substrates was measured as a fun...

in this work, the strontium-doped lanthanum manganite- a ceramic material- used as cathode in solid oxide fuel cells. an impression of grinding time on the structural and thermal properties of sr-doped lamno3 system with la1-xsrxmno3 (x=0.2) stoichiometric ratio was investigated. the nano crystallite lsm powder with cubic structure was prepared by varying the milling time of planetary monomill ...

protective coatings that resist oxide scale growth and decrease chromium evaporation are necessary to makestainless steel interconnect materials for long-term durable operation of solid oxide fuel cells (sofcs). inthis study a layer of manganese was coated on the surface of aisi 441 ferritic stainless steel which is used insolid oxide fuel cells for interconnect applications. the oxidation beha...

an efficient procedure is presented for the evaluation of solid oxide fuel cell (sofc) anode microstructure triple phase boundary length (tpbl). triple phase boundary- the one that is common between three phases of the microstructure- has a great influence on the overall efficiency of sofc because all electrochemical reactions of anode take place in its vicinity. therefore, evaluation of tpbl f...
