  Abstract

Eftcct of interconnect structure on the cell performance in anode-supported tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has been investigated in this study, employing the Fluent CFD solver. For the robust and reliable theoretical analysis corroborating experimental results, it is of great importance to elucidate the role of interconnect which is electrically connected with electrodes on the cell characteristics. From the fact that the thin interconnect provides the enhanced cell performance, it is revealed that the interconnect thickness is a key parameter that is able to effectively control the ohmic resistance. Under the constant thickness condition, the cell performance does not considerably change with the variation of interconnect width. This is because the current passage along with circumferential direction is not effectively altered by the change of interconnect width in tubular SOFC system.
