Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A solid oxide fuel cell structure includes an anode, a cathode arranged oppositely relative to the anode and electrolyte located between the anode and the cathode and at least two air paths each having a distal end provided with a turn and a continuous surface on the inner surface of the distal end.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A solid oxide fuel cell structure, comprising: an anode; a cathode arranged oppositely relative to the anode; an electrolyte located between the anode and cathode; and a plurality of first air paths and a plurality of second air paths arranged alternately along a common plane, each of the first air paths correspond to said anode and each of the second air paths correspond to said cathode, each of the first and second air paths have an inlet end, a main path having a semicircular cross-section, and a distal end having a continuous curve; wherein the first air paths are alternately adjacent to one another with one of the second air paths interposed between each pair of the first air paths, and the first air paths extend along a first direction from the inlet ends thereof to the distal ends thereof, and wherein the second air paths are alternately adjacent to one another with one of the first air paths interposed between each pair of the second air paths, and the second air paths extend along a second direction from the inlet ends thereof to the distal ends thereof, wherein the first direction is opposite the second direction; wherein the distal end of each of the first air paths is directly adjacent to a portion of the main path of one or two of the second air paths, and the distal end of each of the second air paths is directly adjacent to a portion of the main path of one or two of the first air paths; and wherein the main path and the distal end have a turn therebetween, wherein the turn is continuous without singularity after differentiating; and wherein the continuous curve of the distal ends are sections of a quadratic, camber, or parabolic quadratic curve.
