A novel concept for improved thermal management of the planar SOFC

A new design for the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) planar stack is proposed to minimise the thermal gradients in the cell. This design involves including a secondary air channel with flow in the counter direction to the cathodic air channel. The effectiveness of the new design is tested by means of a...
