โฆ Synopsis
The practicability of using a substoichiometric mixture of air and methane to feed the anode compaflnmat of a solid oxide electrochemical reactor has been tested at laboratory level tlwougb the operation ofa 150W tubular stack. Fuel is partially oxidized to synthesis gas as an alternative to steam refonning of natural gas in solid oxide fuel cells. A simulation model of the electrochemical reactor, including mass, heat and charge balances is presented. Experimental resulls confirm the simulation ones and the model gives new insights into the phenomenological behaviour of the whole process.
