Quantitative Analysis of Gas Flow in a Planar SOFC

Article Preview

Abstract:

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method was adopted to establish the three dimensional model for cathode gas channel of planar SOFC and simulate the gas flow in the channel of a single cell. A quantitative analysis method was presented to research the status of gas flow. The characteristics and diagram of velocity change were obtained by using the quantitative analysis method. Furthermore, it was found that gas leak has a negative effect on the uniformity of gas flow, which is more obvious in the region near the leak side.
