Solid oxide electrochemical devices, such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, pumps, sensors, etc [...]

a two-dimensional cfd model of a planar solid oxide fuel cell (sofc) has been developed.this model can predict the performance of sofc at various operating and design conditions.the effect of knudsen diffusion is accounted in the porous electrode (backing) and reaction zonelayers. the mathematical model solves conservation of electrons and ions and conservation ofspecies. the model is formulate...

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are receiving an increasing level of attention for both smalland large-scale applications due their high fuel flexibility compared to other types of fuel cells. This article reviews recent work in SOFC materials research, with an emphasis on anodes that can directly utilize hydrocarbon fuels.

A deep analysis of the Fuel Cells technologies state of the art has been done in this article. After a general description of the fuel cell base structure the six most important fuel cell technologies Polymeric Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC), Alkaline Fuel Cells (AFC), Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell (PAFC), Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC), Solid Oxide Fu...
