a b s t r a c tHaving negative impacts on environment and the scarcity of resources of conventional fossil fuels, fuel cell technology draws more attention as an alternative for providing the electrical energy in parallel with thermal energy. In this study, a single tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with an electrolyte of YttriaStabilized Zirconia 8 mol% ceramic powder was experimentally investigated. The investigation illustrated the effects of three different fuel flow-rates (175 ml/min, 250 ml/min and 325 ml/min) and two operating temperatures (650°C and 750°C) on the output electrical and thermal powers. The highest electrical voltage (open circuit) and overall output power of the cell were found to be 1.1 V and 5.30 W respectively for the fuel flow-rate of 250 ml/min at the operating temperature of 750°C. The electrical power and efficiency were increased about 18.80% and 1.27% respectively for the increase of operating temperature from 650°C to 750°C for a constant fuel flow-rate of 250 ml/min, where; thermal power and efficiency were increased about 33.33% and 10.51% respectively for the same condition. The overall efficiencies of the fuel cell were obtained about 80.42%, 77.49% and 60.73% for the fuel flow-rates of 175 ml/min, 250 ml/min and 325 ml/min respectively for the operating temperatures of 650°C. On the other hand, the overall efficiency of the cell was found to be 83.38% at the operating temperature of 750°C and fuel flow-rate of 250 ml/min. The investigation recommends that for achieving higher efficiency, fuel flow-rate should be lower and operating temperature should be higher.

The energy, exergy, and economic aspects are analyzed of a cycle consisting of a polymer fuel cell, a burner, a reformer, and a heat exchanger. Water is used for cooling the fuel cell, and the heated water is used for domestic consumption. The exergy and energy efficiencies of the cycle are calculated, and the effects of various cycle parameters on the exergy and energy efficiencies are investigated. To maximize the exergy efficiency while minimizing the cost of electricity generation by the fuel cell, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is utilized. The results show that increasing the cooling water flow rate has the greatest effect on increasing the energy efficiency of the cycle, while increasing the burner temperature has the greatest effect on increasing the exergy efficiency of the cycle. Moreover, it is shown via multi-objective optimization of the proposed cycle that the exergy efficiency of the cycle increases by 31% and the cost of electricity generation decreases by 18% by applying optimized parameters.
