TL;DR: In this paper, a finite volume model of a solid oxide fuel cell is developed, which applies a detailed electrochemical and thermal analysis to a tubular SOFC of given geometry, material properties and assigned input flows.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the possibility of enhancing the performances of micro-gas turbines through the addition of a bottoming organic Rankine cycle which recovers the thermal power of the exhaust gases typically available in the range of 250-300°C.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared two dynamic, one-dimensional models of a planar anode-supported intermediate temperature (IT) direct internal reforming (DIR) solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC): one where the flow properties (pressure, gas stream densities, heat capacities, thermal conductivities, and viscosity) and gas velocities are taken as constant throughout the system, based on inlet conditions, and one where this assumption is removed to focus on the effect of considering the variation of local flow properties on the prediction of the fuel cell performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a finite volume model for a planar solid oxide fuel cell and applied a detailed electrochemical and thermal analysis to the model with co-flow, counter-flow or cross-flow configuration.

TL;DR: In this article, a general quasi-steady backward-looking model for energy consumption estimation of electric vehicles is presented, based on a literature review of existing approaches and was set up using publicly available data for Nissan Leaf.
