PEM Fuel Cell Engines: Principles, Design, Modelling, and Analysis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781983474996)

PEM Fuel Cell Engines provides a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the fundamental principles of PEM fuel cell science from single cell to stack, so that a reader whether professional or student can gain a timeless understanding of the fundamentals, principles, design, modelling, and analysis. This book provides design and modelling for PEM fuel cell components such as: modelling proton exchange structure, catalyst layers, gas diffusion, fuel distribution structures, and PEM fuel cell stacks. It also provides readers with a fundamental understanding of insufficient fuel cell durability, identification of failure modes and failure mechanisms of PEM fuel cells, fuel cell component degradation modelling, and mitigation strategies against degradation.The book is a useful reference for fuel cell developers and students, researchers in industry entering the area of PEM fuel cells and lecturers teaching fuel cells. The book takes you deeper into the fundamental principles, discussing: - PEM fuel cell thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and performance.- PEM fuel cell components.- PEM fuel cell failure modes.- PEM fuel cell engines design.- PEM fuel cell models based on semi-empirical simulation.- PEM fuel cell models based on computational fluid dynamics.- PEM fuel cell stack models based on solid mechanics-computational fluid dynamics.- Steam reformer unit models based on computational fluid dynamics.- PEM fuel cell analysis.- PEM fuel cell stack analysis
