...Federico Rossi; Andrea Nicolini An experimental investigation on a novel electrolyte configuration for molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) is presented. A single cell facility was built. The cell is characterized by a cylindrical geometry in order to reduce the structural and thermodynamic problems...

... high temperature fuel cell MCFC biogas cogeneration anaerobic digester economic viability High temperature fuel cells operating with biogas have been identified as one possible solution to lead the society development to a sustainable pattern. Fuel cells are highly efficient energy...

...S. Campanari; P. Iora; P. Silva; E. Macchi This paper investigates the thermodynamic potential of the integration of molten carbon fuel cell (MCFC) technology with gas turbine systems for small-scale (sub-megawatt or sub-MW) as well as large-scale (multi-MW) hybrid cycles. Following the proposals...

...P. Iora; S. Campanari In this paper, a three-dimensional finite volume model of a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) is presented. The model applies a detailed electrochemical and thermal analysis to a planar MCFC stack of given geometry and assigned input flows conditions, material properties...

...M. Gundermann; P. Heidebrecht; K. Sundmacher The parameter identification of a mathematical model of a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) is presented. The model is spatially distributed in two dimensions and describes the strongly non-linear coupling of the temperature field and reactions inside...
