Fuel Cell Fundamentals

---

Fuel cell fundamentals is an accessible, introductory book that thoroughly covers the basic science and engineering behind fuel cell technology. Emphasizing the founding scientific principles that govern fuel cell operation, it provide straightforward descriptions of how fuel cells work, why they offer the potential for high efficiency, and how their uniqe advantages can best be used.rnFuel cell fundamentals assumes no prior knowledge of fuel cells or electrochemistry and is accessible to fuel cell beginners and any engineering or science major with a background in calculus, basic physics, and elementary thermodynamics. It’s conveniently divided into two parts:rnPart I: fuel cell principles – focuses on basic fuel cell physics, including illustrated diagrams, examples, text boxes, and review questions that foster an intuitive understanding of fuel cells.rnPart II: Fuel cells technology – presents a discussion of the practical applications of fuel cell technology, including valuable information on selecting the best fuel cell for a given application and how to design a complete systemrnImagine driving home in a fuel cell car with nothing but pure water dripping from the tailpipe. Imagine a laptop computer that runs for 30 hours on a single charge. Imagine a world where you plug your house into your car and power lines a re a distant memory. These derams motivate today’s fuel cell research. While some dreams (like powering your home with your fuel cell car) may be distant, others (like a 30-hour fuel cell laptop) may be closer than you think.rnBy taking cells from the dream world to the real world, this book teaches you the science behinde the technology. This book focuses on the questons “how” and “why”. Inside you will find strightforward descriptions of how fuel cells work, why the offer the potential for high efficiency, and how their unique advantages can best be used. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental scientific principles that govern fuel cell operation. These principles remain constant and universally applicable, regardless of fuel cell types or technology.rnFollowing this philosophy, the first part, fuel cell principles, is devoted to basic fuel cell physics. Illustrated diagrams, examples, text boxes, and homework questions are all designed to impart a unified, intuitive understanding of fuel cells. Of course, no treatment of fuel cells is complete without at least a brief discussion of the practical aspects of fuel cell technology. This is the aim of the second part of the book. Fuel cell technology, informative diagrams, tables, and examples provide an engaging review of the major fuel cell technologies. In this half of the book, you will learn how to select the right fuel cell for a given application and how to design a complete system. Finally, you will learn how to assess the potential environmental impact of fuel cell technology. rn
