One parameter should be fixed in the process of simulating the performance of a unit MCFC (molten carbonate fuel cell). Distributions of temperature, conversions of hydrogen, and cell performance have been obtained in two different methods: one with a fixed value of cell voltage and the other with a fixed value of current density. Results by both methods have been compared with experimental data. The method with the fixed value of cell voltage resulted in a more reasonable fitting to experimental data.
