• Anatomy of a laminar starting thermal plume at high Prandtl number 

      Davaille, A.; Limare, A.; Touitou, F.; Kumagai, I.; Vatteville, J. (2011)
      We present an experimental study of the dynamics of a plume generated from a small heat source in a high Prandtl number fluid with a strongly temperature-dependent viscosity. The velocity field was determined with particle ...
    • Finite elements analysis of cylindrical copper shelled SLA electrodes 

      Iakovakis, V.; Kechagias, J.; Petropoulos, G.; Maropoulos, S. (2010)
      A cylindrical copper shelled SLA electrode was modelled and analysed using the finite element method. The thickness of the silver paint is assumed to be uniform and constant around the SLA epoxy core with a value of 15 ...
    • SOFC fuel cell heat production: Analysis 

      Hafsia, A.; Bariza, Z.; Djamel, H.; Hocine, B. M.; Andreadis, G. M.; Soumia, A. (2011)
      In the present work the effect of various heat sources on the temperature field within an Anode Supported Planar Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (ASP-SOFC) is studied. In order to describe the thermal behavior within the SOFC during ...
    • Total polarization effect on the location of maximum temperature value in planar SOFC 

      Oulmi, K.; Zitouni, B.; Ben Moussa, H.; Abdenebi, H.; Andreadis, G. M. (2011)
      The aim of the present study is the evaluation and the location of the maximum temperature values within the solid and porous components of a planar SOFC under the effect of total polarization: Ohmic, activation, concentration ...
    • Two-dimensional numerical study of temperature field in an anode supported planar SOFC: Effect of the chemical reaction 

      Zitouni, B.; Andreadis, G. M.; Hocine, B.; Hafsia, A.; Djamel, H.; Mostefa, Z. (2011)
      In the present work the effect of the chemical reaction on the temperature field in an anode supported planar SOFC is numerically studied by the aid of a two-dimensional mathematical model. For the model development the ...
