Transcription of Chapter Three The hydrogen fuel cell power system
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
83~ Chapter ThreeThe hydrogen fuel cellpower system ~84 This Chapter discusses two major issues: (i) fuel cell theory and engineering, and (ii) providing fuelfor the fuel cell. The first section thoroughly discusses the science behind fuel cells in general. Of the different kindsof fuel cells , the proton exchange membrane type is identified as the unquestioned best candidatefor the small vehicle application. Engineering issues like how to cool the fuel cell stack and whetherto pressurize the fuel cell are discussed in general terms and the feasibility of certain design optionsis determined. (On the other hand, more complete, quantitative analyses of cooling andpressurization require more detailed information about steady-state and transient powerrequirements that are not calculated until Chapter 4, and are thus properly analyzed within thatchapter).
