Finite Element Method (FEM) Model and Performance Analysis of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells - Helge Ingolf Geisler Kartoniert (TB)

This work presents a numerical FEM framework capable of predicting SOFC performance under technically relevant planar stack contacting conditions. A high level of confidence in the model predictions is supplied by using exclusively experimentally determined material kinetic parameters and by a comprehensive validation. The presented model aids SOFC stack development by pre-evaluating possible material choices and design combinations for cells interconnectors without any experimental effort.
