"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.
