Fuel Cell Systems Explained

The success of the first edition of fuel cell systems explained has been shown both by very pleasing sales and the positive comments of reviewers and critics.

Fuel cell systems explained. Moreover new developments in catalysts and improved reliability have made fuel cells viable candidates in a road range of applications from small power stations to cars to laptop computers and mobile phones. Nevertheless with fuel cell technology no one can rest on their laurels and the last few years have seen rapid developments in the field making a second edition necessary. Since publication of the first edition of fuel cell systems explained three compelling drivers have supported the continuing development of fuel cell technology these are. Smaller building integrated fuel cell systems mostly of the pemfc type but also a few sofcs have attracted much attention over recent years this is partly related to the motion to more decentralised energy systems where traditional energy supply has maintained a.

The need to maintain energy security in an energy hungry world the desire to move towards zero emission vehicles and power plants and the mitigation of climate change by lowering of co 2 emissions. A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel often hydrogen and an oxidizing agent often oxygen into electricity through a pair of redox reactions. Fuel cells are different from most batteries in requiring a continuous source of fuel and oxygen usually from air to sustain the chemical reaction whereas in a battery the chemical energy usually comes.

Fuel cell technology is developing at a rapid pace thanks to the increasing awareness of the need for pollution free power sources. The need to maintain energy security in an energy hungry world the desire to move towards zero emission vehicles and power plants and the mitigation of climate change by lowering of co 2 emissions. Fuel cell systems explained. Since publication of the first edition of fuel cell systems explained three compelling drivers have supported the continuing development of fuel cell technology these are.

In summary an altogether satisfying book that puts within its covers the academic tools necessary for explaining fuel cell systems on a multidisciplinary basis. To be clean fuel cell systems must use hydrogen production with a lower environmental impact as. Building on the success of the first edition fuel cell systems explained presents a balanced introduction to this growing area. To better understand how fuel cell systems could be integrated into automotive systems.
