Fuel cells are growing in importance as sources of sustainable energy and will doubtless form part of the changing programme of energy resources in the future. The book of CFD Models for Analysis and Design of PEM Fuel Cells looks at how engineers can model PEM fuel cells to get optimal results for any application. This book is a practical summary of how to create CFD models, how to manipulate them and how to interpret results.
Al-Baghdadi (International Technological U., London) explains how engineers can create three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics models of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, manipulate the models, and interpret the results. These models, he says, can help generate powerful computational engineering tools that could dramatically reduce the lead times and development costs and spur the innovative design of fuel cells. Besides the model, he offers a parametric study of the fuel cell's performance, and discusses the failure of cells. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
