Computational Analysis of Transport Phenomena and Performance of PEMFC

Computational Analysis of Transport Phenomena and Performance of PEMFC by Bengt Sundén, Shian Li, and Fereshteh Salimi Nanadegani is a definitive, practice-focused guide for engineers and researchers working on proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). Clear, rigorous and driven by real-world problems, this book translates advanced multi-physics modeling into actionable insight for improving PEMFC efficiency, durability and scalability.

Begin with a concise foundation of mass, heat and charge transport in membrane-electrode assemblies, then advance to state-of-the-art computational techniques—CFD, multi-scale coupling, and numerical stability strategies—used to predict performance under realistic operating conditions. Detailed analyses of water management, catalyst layer behavior, thermal management and reactant distribution provide the tools needed to diagnose performance losses and accelerate design iterations.

Engineered for applied scientists, graduate students and industry practitioners across Europe, North America and Asia, the text balances theoretical rigor with practical examples and parameter studies that inform automotive, stationary and portable fuel-cell applications. Readers will gain strategies for model validation, sensitivity analysis and optimization that reduce prototype cycles and guide material and component choices.

Whether you’re designing next-generation PEMFC stacks or integrating fuel cells into hybrid energy systems, this authoritative resource sharpens your computational approach and delivers measurable improvements in performance prediction and system design. Practical, contemporary and globally relevant—add this essential reference to your collection to drive smarter, faster PEMFC development.
