A dynamic model of an ammonia fed-tubular solid oxide fuel cell (NH 3-SOFC) is developed and presented. The model accounts for diffusion, inherent impedance, transport (heat and mass transfer), electrochemical reactions, activation and concentration polarizations of electrodes and the ammonia decomp...
