Abstract

In this study use of a reversible solid oxide fuel cell for co-electrolysis of steam and carbon dioxide is investigated using zero and multi-dimensional modeling tools. A zero-dimensional model is taken into account as the base model and applied to a single-cell system. Dimensions of the cell is used for the zero-dimensional model to provide a base for the multi-dimensional performance enhancement of the cell at micro to macro scales. An optimal current density is available at slightly lower than 1000 A/m2 to provide low overpotentials and higher efficiency. Maximum reachable cell efficiency in this case is about 75%.

Özet

Bu çalışmada sıfır ve çok boyutlu modelleme araçları ile tersinir bir yakıt hücresinde buhar ve karbon dioksit elektrolizi incelenmiştir. Temel alınan modeli olşuturmak için sıfır boyutlu bir model göz önüne alınmış ve sonuçlar tekli bir hücreye uygulanmıştır. Varolan hücrenin boyutları sıfır boyutlu modelde kullanılarak doğrulama yapılmış ve mikro ve makro ölçekte çok boyutlu performans arttırımı için temel oluşturmuştur. Optimum akım yoğunluğu olan 1 kA/m2 değerinde düşük aşırı gerilim değerleri ede edilmiş ve yüksek verimlilik sağlanmıştır. Ulaşılabilir en yüksek verim %75 olarak gözlemlenmiştir.
