직접내부개질형 용융탄산염 연료전지(DIR-MCFC)의 운전 조건에 따른 성능 분석 = Performance Analysis in Direct Internal Reforming Type of Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (DIR-MCFC) according to Operating Conditions

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, the operation characteristics of the internal reforming type molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) were studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis according to the steam to carbon ratio (S/C ratio), operating temperature, and gas utilization. From the simulation results, the distribution of gas composition due to the electrochemical reaction and the reforming reaction was predicted. The internal reforming type showed a lower temperature difference than the external reforming type MCFC. As the operating temperature decreased, less hydrogen was produced and the performance of the fuel cell also decreased. As the gas utilization rate decreased, more gas was injected into the same reaction area, and thus the performance of the fuel cell increased.
