The temperature distribution is investigated using a coflow planar SOFC comprising the air and fuel channel and twoceramic electrodes, anode and cathode, separated by a dense ceramic electrolyte. The Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used for the numerical simulation of the physical problem. The effects of inlet temperature, anode thermal conductivity and current density on temperature distribution are discussed. It was found that temperature distribution is very sensitive to the inlet temperature and the current density. </abstract> <index>Open Science Index 128, 2017</index> </article>
