Abstract

This study represents the fields and the temperature profiles in a single cell of an anode supported planar a SOFC fuel cell under the influence of various polarization resistance sources; The Ohm polarization resistance type is at the anode, electrolyte, cathode and interconnector. The activation polarization resistance type at the electrodes (anode and cathode). The study is done at 3-D. The numerical simulation is performed by a FORTRAN program. The results are shown in the vertical plane passing through the channel center and parallel to the gas flow direction.
