Eletrode supported in IT-SOFC : Ohmic and activation polarization

الملخص EN

The dimensions and the materials type limit the performance of the fuel cell.

In this contribution, we studied the performance of an intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC) with electrode supported; cathode (CS) or anode supported (AS).

The aim of this work is to study the effects of the geometric configuration on the increasing temperature of IT-SOFC single cell under the effects of two heat sources; Joule effect and activation energy.

The temperature distribution is analyzed in several operating temperature and cell voltage.

The results of an electro-thermal model shows the effects of geometric configuration, two operating temperatures and two operating voltage at the increasing temperature under itch type of energy source on a single cell of IT-SOFC with cathode or anode supported.
