3rd Edition
by Ryan O'Hayre (Author), Suk-Won Cha (Author), Whitney Colella (Author), Fritz B. Prinz (Author)
A complete introductory guide to fuel cell technology and application
Fuel Cell Fundamentals provides a thorough introduction to the principles and practicalities behind fuel cell technology. Beginning with the underlying concepts, the discussion explores fuel cell thermodynamics, kinetics, transport, and modeling before moving into the application side with guidance on system types and design, performance, costs, and environmental impact. This new third edition has been updated with the latest technological advances and relevant calculations, and enhanced chapters on advanced fuel cell design and electrochemical and hydrogen energy systems. Worked problems, illustrations, and application examples throughout lend a real-world perspective, and end-of chapter review questions and mathematical problems reinforce the material learned.
Fuel cells produce more electricity than batteries or combustion engines, with far fewer emissions. This book is the essential introduction to the technology that makes this possible, and the physical processes behind this cost-saving and environmentally friendly energy source.
As
more and more nations turn to fuel cell commercialization amidst
advancing technology and dropping deployment costs, global stationary
fuel cell revenue is expected to grow from $1.4 billion to $40.0 billion
by 2022. The sector is forecasted to explode, and there will be a
tremendous demand for high-level qualified workers with advanced skills
and knowledge of fuel cell technology. Fuel Cell Fundamentals is the essential first step toward joining the new energy revolution.
