EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Product Description
This is a concise source of the basic electrochemical principles and the engineering aspects involved in the development and commercialization of fuel cells. It provides a lucid description of the applications and techno-economic assessment of fuel cell technologies along with an in-depth discussion of conventional and novel approaches for generating energy. The first part covers the electrode kinetics and electrocatalysis of charge-transfer reactions, and leading electrochemical technologies with focus on relevance to fuel cells. The second part addresses the governing principles of fuel cells, electrocatalysis of fuel cell reactions and experimental techniques pertinent to fuel cell research and development. The third part is devoted to modeling of fuel cell systems and a thorough discussion of fuels, fuel processing and fuel storage, transmission, and distribution. The final part deals with the status of fuel cell technologies, their applications and economics.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 3.5 based on 2 reviews)

An Overview by E. Guttman (novi, mi USA) 2 Stars
March 31, 2009
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.

Outstanding buy by Angel L. Velez 5 Stars

This is an outstanding buy. Excelent price, packing, and book conditions. Went over my expectatives. I strongly recommend this seller.

PEM Fuel Cells: Theory and Practice (Sustainable World Series)
by Frano Barbir (Author)

Fuel cells are electrochemical energy conversion devices that convert hydrogen and oxygen into water, producing electricity and heat in the process and providing fuel efficiency and reductions in pollutants. Demand for this technology is growing rapidly. Fuel cells are being commercialized for stationary and portable electricity generation, and as a replacement for internal combustion engines in automobiles. Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells in particular are experiencing an upsurge....
