Compilation of different physics-based models of solid oxide fuel cell.
The folder(/COMSOL/planar_cell/) includes COMSOL model of a planar cell in the 2D of width and length, detail description of the which can be found in this open access journal. Main physics:
- Gas transport from diffusion, electrochemical reaction, convection (
).
- Heat of reaction and heat transfer between a lumped solid and gas phases.
- Electrochemistry: Ohmic resistance, RC element for electrode resistance and Nernstian chemical thermodynamical relationship.
- Frequency domain solution to the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) response.
