Abstract

SOFCs are often designed to operate with specific fuels, quite often natural gas. CFD modeling is often used to arrive at efficient and safe SOFC designs. Therefore, when an SOFC is fed with different fuels, i.e., biosyngas, CFD can be used as a tool to predict whether the cell and stack will be safe and operate efficiently, and thus can give suggestions for the operation strategies for SOFCs. For that reason, a combined mass and heat transport model of an SOFC (single channel) has been developed for an anode-supported SOFC fed with biosyngas with special attention to the reaction kinetics of the direct internal reforming (DIR) reaction together with the water–gas shift reaction. An SOFC design jointly developed by ECN and Delft University of Technology is employed for the calculations. This work aims to predict the influence of different reforming reaction kinetic parameters on the cell performance by using an anode-supported intermediate temperature DIR planar solid oxide fuel single channel model, under co-flow operation.
