AB - The suitability for using various gaseous fuels makes the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) the most promising heat-electricity cogeneration device. Thermal field distribution of SOFC directly determines whether the cell is operating in sufficient catalytic activity and weakened by thermal stress. For biogas derived methane fueled SOFC, the internal reforming reactions can cause the inhomogeneous temperature distribution. So it is crucial to optimize the thermal field to achieve optimal cell operation state. In this paper, a 3D muti-physics model is developed to study the improvements of a new cathode flow field structure. When adopting new cathode structure, the power density increases by over 11%, and the maximum temperature gradient can be evidently reduced.
