Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Economy N2 - Suitable for engineers, technicians and students, this title covers fundamentals of design, electrochemistry, heat and mass transport, as well as provides the context of system design and applications. It covers various aspects of (Proton Exchange Membrane) PEM fuel cells, from theory and fundamentals to practical applications. "Demand for fuel cell technology is growing rapidly. Fuel cells are being commercialized to provide power to buildings like hospitals and schools, to replace batteries in portable electronic devices, and as replacements for internal combustion engines in vehicles. PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cells are lighter, smaller, and more efficient than other types of fuel cell. As a result, over 80% of fuel cells UR - http://repository.fue.edu.eg/xmlui/handle/123456789/3989 ER -
