Abstract

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) operate at high temperatures, leading to stringent requirements for the thin ceramic structures in these devices. Heat transfer models aimed to study the temperature distribution within SOFCs are however often simplified by ignoring radiative heat transfer (RHT). A computational model is developed to study the influence of RHT on temperature fields in SOFCs. It is shown that for internal heat transfer in a single channel SOFC, RHT can be safely ignored
