Author Description

A large part of the energy that is chemically bound to the fuel (f.ex. hydrogen) is directly transformed into electric current in the fuel cell. There is a fast growing interest in the operating mode and bonding of these system components whose uses seem to be unlimited, and as such, their enhancements are pushed on a world-wide scale. This book procures the basic principles of the fuel cell and its process integration. The author offers guidelines for problem-solving and decision-making by providing the reader with the basics in process evaluation, constructive feasibility and economic assessment as well as a description of published concepts and operating results. The book will be most appreciated by engineers who need to solve thermodynamic and procedural problems, students and technical managers.
