چکیده

exergy analysis of an integrated molten carbonate fuel cell-turbo expander-steam turbine hybrid cycle has been presented in this study. the proposed cycle has been used as a sustainable energy approach to provide a micro hybrid power plant with high exergy efficiency. to generate electricity by the mentioned system, an externally reformed molten carbonate fuel cell located upstream of the combined cycle has been used. furthermore, the turbo expander and steam turbine systems have been considered as topping and bottoming cycles for the purpose of cogeneration, respectively. results show that the proposed system is capable of reaching a net delivered power of 1125 kw, while the total exergy efficiency (including both electricity and heat) of this system is more than 68%. moreover, the delivered power and exergy efficiency from the proposed cycle is stable against ambient temperature variations. in addition, the effect of a current density increase on cell voltage and total exergy destruction has been considered.

Analysis for a Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell

In this paper we analyze a planar model for a molten carbonate electrode of a fuel cell. The model consists of two coupled second-order ordinary diierential equations, one for the concentration of the reactant gas and one for the potential. Restricting ourselves to the case of a positive reaction order in the Butler-Volmer equation, we consider existence, uniqueness, various monotonicity proper...

Exergy Analysis of a Subcritical Refrigeration Cycle with an Improved Impulse Turbo Expander

The impulse turbo expander (ITE) is employed to replace the throttling valve in the vapor compression refrigeration cycle to improve the system performance. An improved ITE and the corresponding cycle are presented. In the new cycle, the ITE not only acts as an expansion device with work extraction, but also serves as an economizer with vapor injection. An increase of 20% in the isentropic effi...

Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells

Molten carbonate fuel cells use carbonate salts of alkali metals as electrolyte. Due to the highly corrosive nature of the electrolyte, various countermeasures are being developed. MCFCs are expected for high-efficiency power generation systems using hydrocarbon fuels, such as natural gas and coal gas. This article describes the mechanisms of operation and cell degradation, as well as the featu...
