Without combustion, molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC) convert chemical energy contained in fuel and oxidizer to electric energy via electro‐chemical reaction. Performance and service life of MCFCs depends on its operating temperature. So control of the operation temperature within a specified range and reducing temperature fluctuations is highly desirable. In a first step towards this goal numerical simulations are computed.
