• Two cells were tested, one a 2.5cm button cell, known to have a small leak from anode to cathode, through porous ceramic seal (filled diamonds).• The other, a 7cm x 7cm cell with gas-tight glass seal (lines).• Cells had identical materials, processing, and operating conditions.• Comparison of I-V curves shows that the effect of the leak is “washed out” as the current increases.

Basic model subtracts constant voltage at all currents to compensate for leak effect.

The limiting currents are derived for open circuit conditions, and assume that the reactant concentrations approach zero in the gas immediately above the reactive sites.
This may not be true, but serves as a working approximation to investigate the importance of other mechanisms in the context of previous models, thus maintaining a connection (benchmark) to prior models.

Anodic concentration polarization may be caused by competitive adsorption and surface diffusion near TPBs.

Enthalpy Calculations – Oxidation of FuelEnthalpy Calculations Enthalpy Calculations –– Oxidation of FuelOxidation of FuelEnthalpy changes related to fuel oxidation are calculated using standard "textbook" thermodynamics, taking advantage of the fact that enthalpy is a state function. Fuel gas is virtually cooled to RT, oxidized at RT, then heated to outlet temperature. (Cells C137-P195)The starting point for the calculations is the fuel gas composition as equilibrated at the inlet temperature expressed in flow rate for each species (Cells C13-C17). Step 1) The anode inlet gas mixture is cooled down to room temperature.
