Reduced cell and stack modeling of planar solid oxide fuel cells by He, Zhongjie

“…According to the contribution of each parameter to the variation of the cell performance, the modeling parameters are ranked for each scenario and then two distinct rankings are obtained, which is not captured by conventional parametric studies. The last achievement is the development of 2D spatially-smoothed non-isothermal single-cell and stack models as well as their asymptotic counterparts that are called the asymptotic spatially-smoothed thermal (ASST) cell and stack models, in which the spatially smoothed energy equations are in particular developed subject to both the local thermal equilibrium (LTE) and non-equilibrium (LTNE) conditions in the volume-averaged flow field. …”
