Abstract
A micro scale model of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) involving the mass transfer together with the electrochemical reaction, the electron and ion transports through respective cylindrical shaped electron-and ion-conducting particles inside the electrodes was mathematically developed. The predicted cell performance was showed according to the operating and design condition. The effects of micro-scale electrode geometry on the cell performance were also taken into account. This present study reveals the working mechanisms of SOFC at the micro-scale level, while demonstrating the use of micro-scale relations to enhance the SOFC performance. The accuracy of the presented model was validated by comparing to already existing experimental results from the available literatures.
