Opis

This resource combines-for the first time in a single volume-coverage of basic principles, analysis, and analytical techniques, and design aspects of the fuel cell. It presents fuel cell design at component and system levels, then elaborates on analysis methods for various phenomena associated with components and systems. With its examples, problems, and simulation activities, it makes an excellent graduate text or reference for researchers, engineers, and others involved in energy development. The text guides the reader from foundations and fundamental principles through analysis methods and fuel cell design, demonstrating the latest cutting-edge technology.
