Fuel Cell Engines

Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

The first fuel cell theory and application resource written for students and professionals. With the field of fuel cells growing at a rapid pace, there is a powerful need for a single guide to the myriad disciplines related to the technology. Fuel Cell Engines provides a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the fundamental principles of fuel cell science so that a reader-whether professional or student-can gain a timeless understanding of the fundamentals that will remain relevant and useful even as the specific applications, materials, and designs change. Offering an unbiased introduction to their fundamental concepts and applications, author Matthew Mench begins with a global perspective of the field and the practical significance of fuel cells and potential applications. He then takes you deeper into the fundamental principles, discussing: * Basic Electrochemical Principles * The Thermodynamics of Fuel Cells * Performance Characterization of Fuel Cells * Multiphase Heat and Mass Transport in Low-Temperature Fuel Cells * The Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell * Other Fuel Cells including Solid Oxide, Molten Carbonate, Phosphoric Acid, and Alkaline Based Systems * Methods of Hydrogen Storage, Generation, and Delivery * Experimental Diagnostics and Diagnosis of Fuel Cells A rich assortment of tools assists your mastery of the elements, including: * Many solved examples that integrate the subtopics covered in each chapter * Chapter-end case studies that expand on the topics covered and go beyond the textbook into external resources available * Chapter-ending homework problems and exercises that are supported by a solutions manual * An associated Web site that provides teaching material for instructors based on the course structure developed at Penn State since 2002

I HAD to get this book for an elective course. Going into the class i knew jack diddly about fuel cell engines so once i started learning more i realized how easily this book is layed out. Solid information in this thing as well as cross sectional views that really help in understanding the topic.

One of the best books I came across in recent times... a good book to start learning fuel cell fundamentals...Saw this book in Library shelf.. surprised to note that this was not checked out..most of the other books on fuel cells have been checked out.. may be the name of the book "fuel cell engines" might be confusing as to what this one may be about....A Must read for both the beginners & for those who want to have a quick update on fundamentals..

Using this for an Alternative Energy class. So far it's alright, a little confusing at times as with some textbooks, especially when the problems don't match well to the given subject material depth-wise.

Love it~~

Excellent
