Abstract
A comprehensive two-dimensional heat and mass transfer model is used to investigate the effects of different cell operating conditions and design parameters on temperature and current density distributions in large molten carbonate fuel cells. Heat transfer effects are found to have a major influence on cell electrical performance. A number of computed cell temperature and current density distributions are presented and discussed. These illustrate the effects of cell structural parameters, operating conditions, and flow geometry on cell temperature and current density distributions. Some effects of internal methane reforming are also highlighted.
