Power generation with high efficiency and low emissions becomes a serious research topic. Fuel cells are considered as an appropriate technology. Among several fuel cells, Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is characterized by special advantages that make its coupling with different power cycles especially with Gas Turbine (GT) an attractive proposal to achieve high electrical and thermal efficiencies. Many papers studied SOFC/GT hybrid systems. This integration shows a high electrical efficiency [1]. Parametric, economic, energetic, and exergetic studies are established to optimize SOFC/GT systems [2, 3]. Also, the advancement in material technology and its application on SOFC [4], the use of different fuels, modeling techniques, various designs, techniques, and configurations have been proposed and studied [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]. Additional electrochemical systems, bottoming cycles, and chemical processes can be integrated in SOFC-Turbine hybrid system to enhance its efficiency such as the organic Rankine bottom cycle with cryogenic nitrogen assisting in CO2 recovery used by Yang et al. [14]. A multi-generation system power investigated by Haghghi et al. gave 47.14% as an overall system exergy efficiency [15]. The solar array, the proton exchange membrane electrolyzer, and digester are added by Inac et al. to develop a highly renewable hybrid concept [16]. Gholamian et al. [17] found that ORC integrated with thermoelectric generator is having high exergy efficiency in comparison of the basic ORC by 21.9%. Malico et al. [18] studied the integrated SOFC-absorption chiller system for cooling, heating, and power by utilizing waste heat from SOFC and found 68% thermal efficiency. Mehrpooya et al. [19] investigated SOFC-Ammonia water single effect absorption system with ORC combination and they found an efficiency of 62.4%.
Different architectures of hybrid systems are described in previous research. Coupling SOFCs thermally or chemically with bottoming power cycles and renewable energy conversion and storage devices achieves an important efficiency reaching 80% [20, 21, 22, 23]. Valerie et al. [24] assessed a thermo-economic study of an indirect integration of a standard gas turbine cycle with an internal reforming SOFC system and bottoming Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). They concluded that with toluene as working fluid an energy efficiency of about 4% and an exergy efficiency of about 62% are obtained. A supercritical CO2 bottoming cycle was added by Meng et al. to operate the SOFC at higher power density with 70% system efficiency [25]. Many combinations show an important efficiency. Liu et al. found that 62.29% exergy efficiency was obtained using SOFC-GT-ORG-CO2 CAPTURE [26]. An overall exergy efficiency of 47.14% was obtained by a multi-generation system for power, cooling, and hydrogen and water production. [27]. An electrical efficiency of about 75.8% is obtained by Yi et al. [28]. An improvement of the exergy and the energy performances by 26.6 and 27.8% of SOFC-GT hybrid system compared to traditional gas turbine performances, respectively, is demonstrated by Haseli et al. [29]. A thermodynamic and exergo-economic analysis of a SOFC-GT cogeneration system were conducted by Mahmoudi and Khani [2]. They found that the economic and thermodynamic performances increase with the TIT and steam to carbon ratio. Harvey and Richter [30] used ASPEN plus simulator to study pressurized SOFC system, initially developed in Argonne National Laboratory. Later on in the 1997, Siemens Westinghouse delivered the first prototype for producing 220 kW via pressurized SOFC-GT. Santhanam et al. [6] studied an SOFC-GT system integrated to a bio-mass gasifier while integrating a heat pipe within the SOFC stack. They found reduction in exergy destruction and improvement in efficiency of the proposed system. The electric efficiency achieved for the proposed plant exceeds 72%. Ji et al. [10] compared performance assessment of integration of hybrid SOFC-GT cycle with different bottoming Rankine cycle alternatives. They concluded that triple combined cycle yields 3% higher efficiency as compared to dual combined cycle.
The studied power plant is represented by Figure 1. It is mainly composed by a gas turbine cycle GT, a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell SOFC system, and an ammonia water absorption refrigerating system; also heat exchangers HE is used to recover and valorize the heat fluxes from the Gas Turbine and SOFC exhausts. Before feeding the SOFC, the fuel is pre-reformed for a specific portion. The required steam for pre-reforming is produced by the steam generator working with the exhaust heat 43 g from HE1. The outlet of the performing 3C will be completely reformed in the SOFC. After the compression through CA2 the ambient air 3a will be heated in HE1 to obtain 4C. Inside the SOFC, the chemical energy will be converted to electricity due to electrochemical reaction that occurs in the SOFC. Fuel cell exhaust 43a is compressed to 43c to be used to heat the air compressed by CA1 in the heat exchanger HE2. The fuel mixture (the gas 43d and the fresh fuel 2c) will feed the combustion chamber with the compressed heated air 1c. The exhaust flow from the combustion chamber 21a is expanded by the gas turbine GT to generate mechanical power which is converted in electrical generator to electricity. In addition, the flux 43f is used to activate the ammonia water absorption refrigerating system. The exhaust flux from the GT is transferred to the refrigerating system or to the stack.

The purpose of exergy analysis is to determine the performance and identify the sources of irreversibility of the hybrid system.
Characteristics of the fuel cell are selected according to ref. [31]. The SOFC is the seat of reforming, shifting, and electrochemical reactions. The used fuel composition is reported in Table 1. Developed SOFC model calculates voltages, power, and outlet flow parameters.

The power produced by the GT is calculated as follows:
The exergy balance and the exergetic efficiency of the GT can be expressed as:
The exergy balance and the exergetic efficiency of the combustion chamber can be expressed as:
Multiple gas-to-gas heat exchangers are proposed to recover heat. It is assumed that there is no heat transfer between these elements and the surrounding environment. The effectiveness- NTU method is used to determine the actual temperature changes for both cold and hot fluids, based on the heat exchanger type, effective heat transfer coefficient, and surface area. For a cross flow and unmixed fluid type heat exchanger, the effectiveness is expressed as [1]:
The exergy balance and the exergetic efficiency of the heat exchangers are determined using the following equations:
The outlet temperatures of used compressors are calculated using the following equations:
The power consumed by different compressors can be calculated using the following equations:
The compressors’ exergy balance and the exergetic efficiency are determined using following equations:
The net system power of hybrid system is given by
The energetic efficiency of gas turbine cycle is
The energetic efficiency of SOFC is
The energetic efficiency of the hybrid system is
Effect of pressure
The air compressor consumes a lot of energy. The more the compression ratio increases, the more the energy requirement of this component increases. So, as the cell pressure increases, the compressor exergy decreases. Moreover, the pressure has a negative effect on the exergy efficiency of the fuel cell and the gas turbine as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Operating at a pressure equal to 200 kPa, the cell and the turbine exhibit exergy efficiencies of approximately 57.3 and 80.7%, respectively. Whereas for a pressure
Effect of the extraction fraction
The increase in the extraction fraction implies a decrease in the useful power. The turbine loses part of the load to be expanded by the extraction leading to a decrease in the power generated as illustrated in Figure 5. An extraction of 4.5% leads to an efficiency of 67.4%, while a 65.8% yield is obtained if the extraction is doubled. The effect of the extracted fraction on the exergy of the stack heat exchanger was also studied as shown in Figure 6. By increasing the extracted fraction, the exergy of the exchanger decreases. This decrease is due to the increase in energy flows due to the increase in fluid mass flow. The more the mass flow increases, the greater the irreversibility. For extracted fractions of 0.45 and 0.8, the exergy yields obtained are 82% and 79%, respectively. Furthermore, a practically negligible negative effect of the extracted fraction on the fuel cell is observed, as shown in Figure 7. Indeed, by increasing from a 5% extraction fraction to 10%, the destruction of exergy increases by only 2%. However, this parameter has a positive effect on the pre-reformer. Figure 8 shows the variation of the exergy yield of the pre-reformer as a function of the extraction fraction. This yield increases with the indicated fraction. For an extraction fraction equal to 0.05, the pre-reformer has an exergy yield equal to 23.9% while for a fraction fs equal to 0.1, this yield reaches 25.3%.
Effect of H2 flow
The variation in the flow of H2 with constant oxidant flow represents in other words the variation of the fuel/oxygen ratio. This ratio affects the electrochemical reaction, temperature, and combustion reaction.
At a given air flow and precisely at a given oxygen flow, corresponds a maximum flow rate of H2 which could be oxidized without heating the cell to a temperature that damages the materials constituting the cell.
Figures 9 and 10 illustrate the influence of H2 flow rate on the exergy efficiency of the fuel cell and gas turbine, respectively. It can be seen that for the SOFC, the efficiency increases significantly with the H2 flow, reaching a limit value of about 53.4% as shown in Figure 9. For a variation in the H2 flow rate from 101.1 to 203.3 mol/s, the exergy efficiency of the cell increases by approximately 8%. Likewise, the exergy efficiency of the gas turbine is improved with increasing H2 flow rate. For the same range of H2 flow rate variation, the exergy efficiency of the gas turbine increases by approximately 3.2% as shown in Figure 10.
A positive effect was observed for the pre-reformer as shown in Figure 11. For the same variation in flow, the exergy efficiency obtained respectively are 14.4 and 24.4%.
We therefore find that irreversibility can be reduced by increasing fuel flow. This is due to the increasing of the cell temperature which decreases cell polarizations and to the increasing of the temperature and inlet flow of the gas turbine. We also note that the more the H2 flow rate increases, the more the fuel flow rate increases and then more chemical exergy is available to the reformer.
Effect of air flow
The SOFC intake air flow affects cell, heat exchanger, and turbine performances. Figure 12 shows the evolution of the SOFC exergetic efficiency as a function of the air flow. It is observed that the exergetic efficiency reaches a maximum value of approximately 53% for an optimum air flow rate equal to 362.2 mol/s. A higher air flow leads to a lower exergetic efficiency. This is explained by the fact that excess air cools the cell.
In addition, the more the molar air flow increases, the more the energy supplied to the cell increases, which leads to a higher exergy destruction.
In addition, the increase in the air flow leads to an improvement in the exergetic efficiency of the turbine as shown in Figure 13. For the same flow rate range, the gas turbine efficiency increases from 66.87 to 68.01% due to the increase in mass flow rate at the feed.
Exergetic efficiencies of principal components in optimal conditions
The exergetic efficiencies of the various components operating under optimal conditions are shown in Figure 14. It is noted that the combustion chamber, the pre-reformer, and the fuel cell have the lowest values of the exergetic efficiency. Indeed, the combustion chamber has the lowest exergetic efficiency. It virtually destroys 83.3% of the exergy that is received. The irreversibility of combustion is due to heat transfer, friction of fluids, mixing, and chemical reaction. It is difficult to assess the contribution of each process to the total rate of irreversibility. In reality, we can assimilate that the irreversibility due to friction and mixing is negligible compared to other irreversibilities. The destruction of exergy at the SOFC is also significant. Its exergetic efficiency is in the order of 53.56% under optimal conditions. It is attributed to thermodynamic and electrochemical irreversibilities. Besides thermal transfer, SOFC is the location of various chemical reactions. It should also be noted that the reformer is a source of significant degradation of exergy since it is fed by material flows at different temperatures and it is the location of chemical reactions. While the destruction of exergy at the heat exchangers is explained by the difference in temperatures between the various circulating flows.

Exergetic efficiencies of principal components.
An exergetic analysis of the hybrid TG/SOFC system is developed. The exergy balances are established for the various components. The results obtained show that the exergy efficiencies are improved by increasing the pre-fixing fraction of the air and fuel flows. While the ambient temperature, humidity, fuel utilization factor, SOFC pressure, and the shrinkage fraction affect negatively the exergy performance of the hybrid plant. In addition, the exergy study made it possible to locate the inefficiencies of the system studied.

\\n"}]'},components:[{type:"htmlEditorComponent",content:'Copyright is the term used to describe the rights related to the publication and distribution of original Works. Most importantly from a publisher's perspective, copyright governs how Authors, publishers and the general public can use, publish, and distribute publications.
\n\nIntechOpen only publishes manuscripts for which it has publishing rights. This is governed by a publication agreement between the Author and IntechOpen. This agreement is accepted by the Author when the manuscript is submitted and deals with both the rights of the publisher and Author, as well as any obligations concerning a particular manuscript. However, in accepting this agreement, Authors continue to retain significant rights to use and share their publications.
\n\nHOW COPYRIGHT WORKS WITH OPEN ACCESS LICENSES?
\n\nAgreement samples are listed here for the convenience of prospective Authors:
\n\nDEFINITIONS
\n\nThe following definitions apply in this Copyright Policy:
\n\nAuthor - in order to be identified as an Author, three criteria must be met: (i) Substantial contribution to the conception or design of the Work, or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the Work; (ii) Participation in drafting or revising the Work; (iii) Approval of the final version of the Work to be published.
\n\nWork - a Chapter, including Conference Papers, a Scientific Article and any and all text, graphics, images and/or other materials forming part of or accompanying the Chapter/Conference Paper.
\n\nMonograph/Compacts - a full manuscript usually written by a single Author, including any and all text, graphics, images and/or other materials.
\n\nCompilation - a collection of Works distributed in a Book that IntechOpen has selected, and for which the coordination of the preparation, arrangement and publication has been the responsibility of IntechOpen. Any Work included is accepted in its entirety in unmodified form and is published with one or more other contributions, each constituting a separate and independent Work, but which together are assembled into a collective whole.
\n\nScientific Journal – Periodical publication intended to further the progress of science.
\n\nJournal Article/Scientific Article – Publication based on empirical evidence. It can support a hypothesis with original research, describe existing research or comment on current trends in a specific field.
\n\nIntechOpen - Registered publisher with office at 5 Princes Gate Court, London, SW7 2QJ - UNITED KINGDOM
\n\nIntechOpen platform - IntechOpen website www.intechopen.com whose main purpose is to host Monographs in the format of Book Chapters, Long Form Monographs, Compacts, Conference Proceedings, Scientific Journals and Videos.

These associations have been based almost entirely on the presence or absence of lesmas and “projectile points,” regardless of their morphological and technological features. In the Uruguayan archaeological literature, three other cultures are recognised: Fell industry, Catalanense industry, and Tigre tradition, all in the Uruguayan region. However, the last 10 years of systematic studies on the lithic assemblages from these sites have shown that Paleoindian societies from Eastern South America are more culturally diverse than expected and that previously defined archaeological cultures present several issues in their definition, suggesting that many of these “traditions” are not valid and should no longer be used. Instead, new lithic industries and archaeological cultures should be defined only when cultural patterns are observable through systematic analyses.",book:{id:"9251",slug:"pleistocene-archaeology-migration-technology-and-adaptation",title:"Pleistocene Archaeology",fullTitle:"Pleistocene Archaeology - Migration, Technology, and Adaptation"},signatures:"João Carlos Moreno De Sousa",authors:[{id:"303361",title:"Dr.",name:"João Carlos",middleName:null,surname:"Moreno De Sousa",slug:"joao-carlos-moreno-de-sousa",fullName:"João Carlos Moreno De Sousa"}]}],mostDownloadedChaptersLast30Days:[{id:"36570",title:"Archaeological Geophysics - From Basics to New Perspectives",slug:"archaeological-geophysics-from-basics-to-new-perspectives",totalDownloads:6552,totalCrossrefCites:4,totalDimensionsCites:8,abstract:null,book:{id:"1999",slug:"archaeology-new-approaches-in-theory-and-techniques",title:"Archaeology",fullTitle:"Archaeology, New Approaches in Theory and Techniques"},signatures:"Roger Sala, Ekhine Garcia and Robert Tamba",authors:[{id:"131865",title:"Dr.",name:"Roger",middleName:null,surname:"Sala",slug:"roger-sala",fullName:"Roger Sala"}]},{id:"36576",title:"Homage to Marcel Proust - Aspects of Dissemination and Didactic in a Museum and a Science Centre: Science Communication Visions for the Third Generation Museums",slug:"generations-of-ancient-history-dissemination-towards-the-public-at-the-university-museum-in-trondhei",totalDownloads:2644,totalCrossrefCites:1,totalDimensionsCites:1,abstract:null,book:{id:"1999",slug:"archaeology-new-approaches-in-theory-and-techniques",title:"Archaeology",fullTitle:"Archaeology, New Approaches in Theory and Techniques"},signatures:"Kistian Overskaug",authors:[{id:"117119",title:"Dr.",name:"Kristian",middleName:null,surname:"Overskaug",slug:"kristian-overskaug",fullName:"Kristian Overskaug"}]},{id:"63772",title:"Cultural Heritage in Marker-Less Augmented Reality: A Survey",slug:"cultural-heritage-in-marker-less-augmented-reality-a-survey",totalDownloads:1628,totalCrossrefCites:6,totalDimensionsCites:9,abstract:"Augmented reality (AR) is considered as one of the most significant technologies in the field of computer graphics and is utilised in many applications.

While the Oldowan as the earliest technocomplex continues to be elusive, the oldest Acheulean is dated to ~1.5 Ma and the early Middle Paleolithic is ~385 ka (from the same site). New Late Pleistocene dates have been reported for the Middle Paleolithic which continues up to 38 Ka in southern India. The Upper Paleolithic remains ambiguous and requires critically multidisciplinary investigations. The microlithic evidence appears to spread rapidly across the subcontinent soon after its emergence at ~48 Ka (though its origin is debated) and continues into the Iron Age. The timeline of the initial arrival of Homo sapiens continues to be debated based on the archaeology (advanced Middle Paleolithic vs. microlithic) and genetic studies on indigenous groups. Other issues that need consideration are: interactions between archaics and arriving moderns, the marginal occurrence of symbolic behavior, the absolute dating of rock art and the potential role of hominins in specific animal extinctions and ecological marginalization. The region does not appear to have been a corridor for dispersals towards Southeast Asia (although gene flow may have occurred).

The Pleistocene open sea gaps between the Wallacean islands and both landmasses are very likely the major factor for the relative scarcity of animal species originating from Asia and Oceania and the high diversity of endemic species in Wallacea. They were also a barrier for hominin migration into the Wallacean islands and Sahul continent.

These advances have helped foster better support for animal health, more humane animal production, and a better understanding of the physiology of endangered species to improve the assisted reproductive technologies or the pathogenesis of certain diseases, where animals can be used as models for human diseases (like cancer, degenerative diseases or fertility), and even as a guarantee of public health. Bridging Human, Animal, and Environmental health, the holistic and integrative “One Health” concept intimately associates the developments within those fields, projecting its advancements into practice. This book series aims to tackle various animal-related medicine and sciences fields, providing thematic volumes consisting of high-quality significant research directed to researchers and postgraduates. It aims to give us a glimpse into the new accomplishments in the Veterinary Medicine and Science field. By addressing hot topics in veterinary sciences, we aim to gather authoritative texts within each issue of this series, providing in-depth overviews and analysis for graduates, academics, and practitioners and foreseeing a deeper understanding of the subject. Forthcoming texts, written and edited by experienced researchers from both industry and academia, will also discuss scientific challenges faced today in Veterinary Medicine and Science.

Infectious Diseases",scope:"Fungi are ubiquitous and there are almost no non-pathogenic fungi. Fungal infectious illness prevalence and prognosis are determined by the exposure between fungi and host, host immunological state, fungal virulence, and early and accurate diagnosis and treatment. \r\nPatients with both congenital and acquired immunodeficiency are more likely to be infected with opportunistic mycosis. Fungal infectious disease outbreaks are common during the post- disaster rebuilding era, which is characterised by high population density, migration, and poor health and medical conditions.\r\nSystemic or local fungal infection is mainly associated with the fungi directly inhaled or inoculated in the environment during the disaster. The most common fungal infection pathways are human to human (anthropophilic), animal to human (zoophilic), and environment to human (soilophile). Diseases are common as a result of widespread exposure to pathogenic fungus dispersed into the environment. \r\nFungi that are both common and emerging are intertwined. In Southeast Asia, for example, Talaromyces marneffei is an important pathogenic thermally dimorphic fungus that causes systemic mycosis. Widespread fungal infections with complicated and variable clinical manifestations, such as Candida auris infection resistant to several antifungal medicines, Covid-19 associated with Trichoderma, and terbinafine resistant dermatophytosis in India, are among the most serious disorders. \r\nInappropriate local or systemic use of glucocorticoids, as well as their immunosuppressive effects, may lead to changes in fungal infection spectrum and clinical characteristics. Hematogenous candidiasis is a worrisome issue that affects people all over the world, particularly ICU patients. CARD9 deficiency and fungal infection have been major issues in recent years. Invasive aspergillosis is associated with a significant death rate. Special attention should be given to endemic fungal infections, identification of important clinical fungal infections advanced in yeasts, filamentous fungal infections, skin mycobiome and fungal genomes, and immunity to fungal infections.\r\nIn addition, endemic fungal diseases or uncommon fungal infections caused by Mucor irregularis, dermatophytosis, Malassezia, cryptococcosis, chromoblastomycosis, coccidiosis, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, sporotrichosis, and other fungi, should be monitored. \r\nThis topic includes the research progress on the etiology and pathogenesis of fungal infections, new methods of isolation and identification, rapid detection, drug sensitivity testing, new antifungal drugs, schemes and case series reports. It will provide significant opportunities and support for scientists, clinical doctors, mycologists, antifungal drug researchers, public health practitioners, and epidemiologists from all over the world to share new research, ideas and solutions to promote the development and progress of medical mycology.",coverUrl:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/series_topics/covers/4.jpg",keywords:"Emerging Fungal Pathogens, Invasive Infections, Epidemiology, Cell Membrane, Fungal Virulence, Diagnosis, Treatment"},{id:"5",title:"Parasitic Infectious Diseases",scope:"Parasitic diseases have evolved alongside their human hosts. In many cases, these diseases have adapted so well that they have developed efficient resilience methods in the human host and can live in the host for years. Others, particularly some blood parasites, can cause very acute diseases and are responsible for millions of deaths yearly. Many parasitic diseases are classified as neglected tropical diseases because they have received minimal funding over recent years and, in many cases, are under-reported despite the critical role they play in morbidity and mortality among human and animal hosts. The current topic, Parasitic Infectious Diseases, in the Infectious Diseases Series aims to publish studies on the systematics, epidemiology, molecular biology, genomics, pathogenesis, genetics, and clinical significance of parasitic diseases from blood borne to intestinal parasites as well as zoonotic parasites. We hope to cover all aspects of parasitic diseases to provide current and relevant research data on these very important diseases. In the current atmosphere of the Coronavirus pandemic, communities around the world, particularly those in different underdeveloped areas, are faced with the growing challenges of the high burden of parasitic diseases. At the same time, they are faced with the Covid-19 pandemic leading to what some authors have called potential syndemics that might worsen the outcome of such infections. Therefore, it is important to conduct studies that examine parasitic infections in the context of the coronavirus pandemic for the benefit of all communities to help foster more informed decisions for the betterment of human and animal health.",coverUrl:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/series_topics/covers/5.jpg",keywords:"Blood Borne Parasites, Intestinal Parasites, Protozoa, Helminths, Arthropods, Water Born Parasites, Epidemiology, Molecular Biology, Systematics, Genomics, Proteomics, Ecology"},{id:"6",title:"Viral Infectious Diseases",scope:"The Viral Infectious Diseases Book Series aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent research trends and discoveries in various viral infectious diseases emerging around the globe.
