Abstract
Different perspectives for multi scale modeling of the planar SOFC are presented in this thesis using extensive studies. An improved dynamic plug flow reactor model for physically characterizing the Faradic and electrolyte current densities was developed. A new dynamic tank in series reactor model for accelerating 2D visualization of the steady state and dynamic performances was introduced. Finally, a 3D CFD model was established in collaboration with Ceramic Fuel Cells Ltd. Melbourne.
