Abstract The present study deals with modelling and validation of a planar Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) design fuelled by gas mixture of partially pre-reformed methane. A 3D model was developed using the ANSYS Fluent Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool that was supported by an additional Fuel Cell Tools module. The governing equations for momentum, heat, gas species, ion and electron transport were implemented and coupled to kinetics describing the electrochemical and reforming reactions. In the model, the Water Gas Shift reaction in a porous anode layer was included. Electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide fuels were both considered. The developed model enabled to predict the distributions of temperature, current density and gas flow in the fuel cell.

In this study, a series of sloshing model tests were conducted for type-C tanks, particularly to observe the effects of the inner bulkhead and rings. In regular pitch motion, the internal flow by swash bulkhead and rings located inside the tank was observed. The frequency range near the resonance frequency was checked at filling heights of 70%, and sloshing-induced impact pressures were investigated. Through this study, the global flows inside the tank and local flows during impact occurrence at the hemispherical end of the tank were systematically observed, and the impact pressure pattern for each frequency ratio was compared. Due to the swash bulkhead located in the center of the tank, the flow does not move at once and the velocity of the flow is reduced by the inner rings. The flows passing through the swash bulkhead proceed with a time difference, overlapping with the first wave, generating various types of sloshing impact. The results of computational fluid dynamics calculation and the experiment were also compared for limited conditions.
