Ammonia-Air Fuel Cell Power Plant Systems Analysis. Final Report, September 9, 1981-November 30, 1981

摘要

A steady state systems model of an alkaline fuel cell power plant was synthesized. The fuel cell used in this study is a low temperature cell (80 exp 0 C) with a 35% wt KOH electrolyte flowing through, and is coupled to an ammonia cracker. The systems analysis was performed using the PSI/S3E program. Two important features in the fuel cell operations were considered; the product water disposition and the thermal management. A water balance around the cell was performed, and the heat was removed by the electrolyte. The effect of several design parameters on the fuel cell performance and the overall plant efficiency was studied. Results are presented and discussed. (ERA citation 07:054194)
