In this paper, a theoretical model for the performance monitoring and fault detection of fuel ejectors in the hybrid solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system is proposed. The procedures of using the model to analyze ejector properties such as the primary mass flow rate, the secondary mass flow rate, the recirculation ratio and steam to carbon ratio (STCR) are introduced. Based on the model, the anode gas recirculation performances of a hybrid SOFC system are studied under various operating conditions. Results show that the model can be used to evaluate the performance of ejector not only in the critical mode but also in the subcritical and back flow modes, which is especially useful at SOFC off-design operating conditions such as start up, load changes and shut down.
