In this section you will find out how to select the right fuel cell for a given application and how to design a complete system. From the Back CoverA new edition of an essential introduction to the science and engineering behind fuel cellsAs the search for alternative energy technologies heats up, no topic is hotter than fuel cells. The book is divided in two parts:Part I: Fuel Cell Principles is devoted to basic fuel cell physics. Finally, you will learn how to assess the potential environmental impact of fuel cell technology.Further enhancing this new edition are updated and improved examples, problems, and pedagogy for classroom use.. Illustrated diagrams, examples, text boxes, and homework questions are all designed to impart a unified, intuitive understanding of fuel cells.Part II: Fuel Cell Technology has been significantly enlarged for this Second Edition. Emphasizing the foundational s
Filling a glaring gap in the literature, Fuel Cell Fundamentals, Second Edition gives advanced undergraduate and beginning level graduate students an important introduction to the basic science and engineering behind fuel cell technology. This new edition provides updated and enhanced examples, problems, and pedagogy for classroom use and features a significantly enlarged section on the practical applications of fuel cell technology. As the search for alternative fuels heats up, no topic is hotter than fuel cells. A solutions manual will be developed.. Emphasizing the foundational scientific principles that apply to any fuel cell type or technology, the text provides straightforward descriptions of how fuel cells work, why they offer the potential for high efficiency, and how their unique advantages can best be used. Designed to be accessible to fuel cell beginners, the text is suitable for any engineering or science major
It's a good book, but I think that sometimes it could Luis Felipe Bedaque It's a good book, but I think that sometimes it could explain some topics in a easier way. Overall, it's a great book.. "Good" according to Amazon Customer. Love it. Best book out there I've read just about every modern book there is on fuel cells and this one by far is my favorite. It explains everything clearly and provides a good fundamental understanding of fuel cell technology. Given the multidisciplinary nature of fuel cells, this isn't an easy thing to do. The book has a very good format to it as well. The first half provides information about the science behind fuel cells and how they work. The second half is entirely based on application and includes related technologies such as metal hydride hydrogen storage and information about power electronics and control. The book also inc
