| Abstract | Mench (mechanical engineering, Pennsylvania State University) introduces fundamental concepts and applications of fuel cell science. Coverage progresses from an introduction to fuel cells and basic el...ctrochemical principles to thermodynamics of fuel cell systems, performance characterization, transport in fuel cell systems, polymer electrolyte fuel cells, and hydrogen storage and delivery. The final chapter, on experimental diagnostics and diagnosis, can be used to prepare students for a laboratory project. Learning features include solved examples, case studies, chapter-ending homework problems and exercises, and a companion web site for instructors. The text is written for a senior-level undergraduate students but can also serve as an introductory text and reference for graduate study.
