Abstract
Progress on the development of a performance model for molten carbonate fuel cells is reported. Key physical and chemical phenomena being modeled include mass transport, ohmic losses, electrode kinetics, fuel and oxidant utilization, gas phase convective heat transfer and inplane heat conduction through cell hardware. Numerical schemes have been developed and programmed to calculate overpotential versus current density curves for individual electrodes, the cell current density distribution, and the cell temperature distribution.Keywords
