CFD를 통한 용융탄산염 연료전지 단위전지용 셀 프레임 구조 설계 = Design of Cell Frame Structure of Unit Cell for Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell Using CFD Analysis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, a $100cm^2$ cell frame for a molten carbonate fuel cell was designed using CFD analysis. Electrochemical reactions, gas flow, and the heat transfer in $100cm^2$ cell frame were modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics. Two design variables such as the height of the cell frame and the length of the gas input area were determined to obtain minimized temperature distribution and uniform gas distribution. With two design parameter such as height of the cell frame and the length of the gas flow channel, the temperature difference in the cell fame was decreased to $5^{\circ}C$ and the gas uniformity in the flow channel were achieved.
