A model of a Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) stack with internal reforming is presented.  It describes the concentrations in the gas phase, the temperatures and the current densities in this highly integrated system.

The differential equations, boundary conditions and the coupling equations used in the model are presented. A strategy to solve the system of partial differential equations is outlined and the simulation results are discussed.
