Abstract: This paper presents the results of mathematical modeling of the performance of solid electrolyte fuel cells. The system of fundamental physical equations has been solved using a computer program ...

Abstract: The ideal voltage of steady-flow fuel cells is usually expressed by Emf = −ΔG°/nF where ΔG° is the “Gibbs free energy of reaction” for the oxidation of the fuel at the supposed ...

Abstract: Energy conversion processes inherently have associated irreversibility. A better understanding of energy conversion will motivate intuition to create new energy-conversion and energy-utilization ...

Abstract: Dunbar, Lior and Gaggioli (1991) proposed a configuration of a fuel-cell-topped electrical Rankine power generating station and analyzed its performance. That study revealed that the fuel-cell ...

Abstract: A proposed molten carbonate fuel cell power plant design, intended for commercial production by the end of the 1990s and developed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy, the Gas ...

Abstract: It is proposed that consideration be given to an alternative, streamlined manner for mathematical modeling of the performance of energy conversion and transfer equipment. We make the case, here, ...
