Optimization of geometric parameters of a semi-spheroidal solid oxide fuel cell anode using the 3D stress and strain distribution graphs
The purpose. Determination of radii ranges for cylindrical and convex (semi-spheroidal) parts of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) semi-spheroidal shape anode based on stress and strain parameters calculated; comparison of 3D graphs of stress/strain distribution in anodes of proposed and spheroidal shapes; substantiation of the semi-spheroidal anode potential to withstand deformation and stress gradient under operational conditions.
