520	1		_a"With the field of fuel cells growing at a rapid pace, there is a powerful need for a single guide to the myriad disciplines related to the technology. Fuel Cell Engines provides a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the fundamental principles of fuel cell science so that a reader - whether professional or student - can gain a timeless understanding of the fundamentals that will remain relevant and useful even as the specific applications, materials, and designs change." "Offering an unbiased introduction to their fundamental concepts and applications, author Matthew Mench begins with a global perspective of the field and the practical significance of fuel cells and potential applications. He then takes you deeper into the fundamental principles."--BOOK JACKET.
