Question

An SOFC operates at approximately 70 oC true or false

Answer 1

yes, I think it is true!

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is false.

SOFCs operate at higher temperatures ranging from 600-1000 °C.

Explanation:

SOFC stands for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell. It has the ability to convert chemical energy derived from a fuel, like hydrogen/methane, into electricity using a series of electrochemical reactions.

A large amount of enthalpy is associated with the oxidation reaction of the fuel generating carbon dioxide and water.

Hence, they are better in comparison to traditional technologies,such as coal power plants as they bring about higher electrical conversion efficiencies.
