| Summary: | The SOFC simulations in this research are conducted at temperatures of 600°C, 700°C, and
800°C, focusing on the Ni-SDC anode, SDC electrolyte, and LSCF-SDC materials used in the SOFC single
cell. Initially, the single-cell model is created using CAD software, followed by the development of a
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the requisite material properties. The study then proceeds
to simulate temperature distribution and cell performance for various supported SOFC stack models
(electrode and electrolyte supported) at intermediate temperatures. Subsequently, the study examines cell
performance with varying thicknesses of the anode, electrolyte, and cathode components within the specific
supported single cell. In summary, the CFD results indicate that cathode-supported SOFCs exhibit higher
power density, specifically 938.28 mW/cm2 at 800°C, surpassing anode-supported and electrolyte-supported
configurations. The power density reaches 1495.40 mW/cm2 when the single-cell layer thickness is 0.35 mm
for the cathode, 0.02 mm for the anode, and 0.01 mm for the electrolyte. However, electrolyte-supported
single cells display the lowest temperature difference, at 0.028% at 800oC The simulation results
demonstrate that reducing the thicknesses of all electrodes and the electrolyte leads to increased current
density, power density, and temperature distribution difference |
