Dynamic numerical simulation of a molten carbonate fuel cell

The paper presents a set of two-dimensional molten carbonate fuel cell mathematical models, considering the electrical, mass and heat transfer characteristics of a molten carbonate fuel cell. A dynamic simulation model was built under the VC++ environment. The steady state and dynamic simulation results for a cross-flow molten carbonate fuel cell were obtained using the simulation model. The results are appropriate for the design and operation of molten carbonate fuel cells.
