"Fuel Cell Engineering Course Notes"


These notes were developed for the Fuel Cell Engineering class (CHEM E 445) at the University of Washington from 1998 to 2010.  The notes are presented “as is” as an educational aid to those wanting more understanding of fuel cells.  They focus mostly on polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells and include some information about solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).

The notes are available for free distribution for educational purposes only, so long as the distribution includes its copyright notice.  The notes may not be distributed for sale in any form, including, but not limited to, written or electronic media.

"To Build Tomorrow's Fuel Cell Start with Tomorrow's Fuel Cell Engineer"

The files below are two PowerPoint presentations of talks I gave at the Spring AIChE Meeting in New Orleans on March 11, 2002.  Part 1 was given in the Plenary Keynote Session on Fuel Cell Technology: Opportunities and Challenges.  Part 2 was given in the session on Environmental Issues of Energy Conversion Technology.  The two talks focus on the fuel cell project (part 1) and the fuel cell engineering course (part 2) at the UW.These notes were developed for the Fuel Cell Engineering class (CHEM E 445) at the University of Washington from 1998 to 2010.  The course has been taught to more than 300 on-campus students and more than 100 off-campus students by distance learning and continues to be offered.  The lectures were recorded by television for distance learning, and the font and format of the notes reflect the resolution and size limitations of television.  These are lecture notes and do not stand alone as an instructional guide for fuel cells.  A number of books and free downloads are now available that suit that purpose.
