DESCRIPTION:
This concise sourcebook of the electrochemical, engineering and economic principles involved in the development and commercialization of fuel cells offers a thorough review of applications and techno-economic assessment of fuel cell technologies, plus in-depth discussion of conventional and novel approaches for generating energy. Unlike any other current book on fuel cells, each chapter includes problems based on the discussions in the text.. Parts I and II explain basic and applied electrochemistry relevant to an understanding of fuel cells. Part III covers engineering and technology aspects. The book is useful for undergraduate and graduate students and scientists
From the reviews:“The present book has been written by an expert recognized by everybody in the special field of fuel cells as well as in electrochemistry in general. … The book has been carefully prepared and produced. It can be recommended wholeheartedly.” (Rudolf Holze, Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, Vol. 11 (12), 2007). … All chapters end with suggestions for further reading, a list of cited references, and some problems. … Its price is adequate and puts it within reach of both libraries and researchers
An Overview There really are not as many calculations covering how fuel cells work as I would have wanted. It does work as an overview of the subject. Many of the graphs and graphics are poor quality, very fuzzy. You can get a general idea on the subject of fuel cells. Don't expect aything too in depth or detailed problem examples.
