A literature study is performed to compile the state-of-the-art, as well as future potential, in SOFC modeling. Principles behind various transport processes such as mass, heat, momentum and charge as well as for electrochemical and internal reforming reactions are described. A deeper...

A finite volume method based computational fluid dynamics model has been developed and applied for a cathode-supported planar solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) operating in cross-flow configuration arrangement. The performance behavior, in terms of current density, temperature distribution...

As a potential candidate in the future energy storage system, Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are impeded by their insufficient discharge voltages and low charge-discharge efficiencies. Building the alkaline hybrid zinc batteries (AHZBs) combining ZAB and alkaline zinc/cobalt batteries (ZCB) at the...

In this study, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is developed for an anode-supported planar SOFC from the Chinese Academy of Science Ningbo Institute of Material Technology and Engineering (NIMTE). The simulation results of the developed model are in good agreement...

3D computational analysis was performed to investigate heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of flow in SWFET (Smooth Wavy Fin-and-Elliptical Tube) heat exchanger with four new VGs (vortex generators), RTW (rectangular trapezoidal winglet), ARW (angle rectangular winglet), CARW (curved...

With fast growing power consumption and device miniaturization, micro/minichannels are superior to macrochannels or conventional channels for high heat-flux dissipation due to their large surface area to volume ratios and high heat transfer coefficients. However, the associated large pressure...
