Summary, in English
The composite duct considered consists of a thick porous anode layer, the gas flow duct and a solid inter-connector. Unique fuel cell boundary conditions, such as combined thermal boundary conditions on solid walls, mass injection by electrochemical reaction and gas permeation across the interface, were applied in the analysis. The characteristics of gas flow and heat transfer were investigated and presented in terms of friction factor and Nusselt number. It has been revealed that a thick porous anode layer has significant effects on both gas flow and heat transfer of the anode-supported solid oxide fuel cell duct
