Hydrogen, Batteries and Fuel Cells

Hydrogen, Batteries and Fuel Cells provides the science necessary to understand these important areas, considering theory and practice, practical problem-solving, descriptions of bottlenecks, and future energy system applications. The title covers hydrogen as an energy carrier, including its production and storage; the application and analysis of electrochemical devices, such as batteries, fuel cells and electrolyzers; and the modeling and thermal management of momentum, heat, mass and charge transport phenomena. This book offers fundamental and integrated coverage on these topics that is critical to the development of future energy systems. - Combines coverage of hydrogen, batteries and fuel cells in the context of future energy systems - Provides the fundamental science needed to understand future energy systems in theory and practice - Gives examples of problems and solutions in the use of hydrogen, batteries and fuel cells - Considers basic issues in understanding hydrogen and electrochemical devices - Describes methods for modeling and thermal management in future energy systems
