Thermal field in SOFC fed by CH₄: Molar fractions effect

Peer review under responsibility of University of Bahrain.

Abstract

In the present work, the anode supported solid oxide fuel cell (AS_SOFC) is fed by air and fuel at cathode and at anode channels respectively. The fuel is a mixture of five components: methane (CH₄), hydrogen (H₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO) and steam (H₂O), where a reforming phenomenon; an external or an internal one appears. At the SOFC anode side, an indirect or direct reforming phenomenon happens.

Keywords:

• SOFC
• Molar fractions
• Steam reforming
• Shift reaction
• Temperature
