Abstract

The authors review the modeling of molten carbonate fuel cell performance and electrolyte loss. Elements of models for heat and mass transfer and vapor loss are outlined. Examples of calculated current-voltage curves, current density and temperature distributions, and electrolyte inventories are presented for cells with cross-, counter- and coflow geometries.
