Comparative numerical analysis of solid oxide fuel cell stacks using internal and external manifolds

A comprehensive numerical study evaluates the performance of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack with various manifold configurations using a multi-scale model. The model solves coupled transport equations across different stack domains and is validated using experimental data from a 1 kW SOFC stac...
