Together with the existing theory group at process & energy, the newly opened fuel cell lab forms an integrated research centre on a European level. The objects of study here are solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs: tile-like devices that transform gas directly into electricity.Assistant professor, Dr P.V. Aravind Aravind is glad the TU has taken over the equipment from ECN, the national energy research centre, which last year was forced to limit its activities as a consequence of budget cuts. Aravind says the acquired equipment nicely complements the activities of the group’s theorists in thermodynamics, electrochemistry and computational fluid dynamics. The new lab enables them to work in ‘an integrated manner’ on both computations and experiments. “Not many universities have this combination,” Aravind says.”
