  2. 1. Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Modeling at the Cell Scale - Focusing on Species, Heat, Charge and Momentum Transport as well as the Reaction Kinetics and Effects

    Author : Martin Andersson; Värmeöverföring; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SOFC; anode-supported; modeling; CFD; charge species heat momentum transport; electrochemical internal reforming reactions; TPB; area-to-volume ratio; COMSOL Multiphysics;

    Abstract : Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that directly transform chemical energy into electricity. They are promising for future energy systems, since they are energy efficient, able to use renewable fuels and, when hydrogen is used as fuel, there are no direct emissions of greenhouse gases.

  4. 2. Mathematical Modeling of Transport Phenomena in Polymer Electrolyte and Direct Methanol Fuel Cells

    Author : Erik Birgersson; KTH; []
    Keywords : Fuel Cell; DMFC; PEFC; model; visual cell; scale analysis; one-phase; two-phase;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with modeling of two types of fuel cells:the polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) and the directmethanol fuel cell (DMFC), for which we address four majorissues: a) mass transport limitations; b) water management(PEFC); c) gas management (DMFC); d) thermal management. Four models have been derived and studied for the PEFC,focusing on the cathode. READ MORE

  5. 3. Modeling and Simulations of Multiphysics Phenomena ad Performance in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
