Abstract
It is useful to analyze the internal temperature distribution of a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) stack for the purpose of realizing the high performance and stable operation. In this paper, we developed a network model that can analyze pressure, current density and temperature distribution for cathode gas counter-flow type stack. The calculation result showed good agreement to the experimental temperature distributions, so this analysis model could be an effective method to analyze the stack performance. Using this model we proposed the gas flow type stack that can realize the uniform temperature distribution. The proposed gas flow type stack showed higher cell voltage because the higher average temperature has been accomplished.
