Computational analysis of the gas-flow distribution in solid oxide fuel cell stacks

摘要: A computer model is developed, capable of predicting the flow distribution along height a fuel-cell stack. The distinguishes number hydraulic resistances that are linked in series and parallel, thus forming network to simulate gas pressure found from analytical solutions or tabulated data inferred measurements. electrochemistry stack simulated by adding subtracting active cell area. tested on an assumed separator-plate geometry stacking height.
