Description:
Even though fuel cell technology is available for quite some decades, its gaining importance very much these days due to the various governments initiative to reduce the Global carbon foot print. Hence there is lot of interest in the industry to adopt fuel cells into the vehicles and most of the reputed companies are working in this direction. In this course, one will learn about the followinga. Why fuel cell vehicles are gaining importance?b. How the power flows in the fuel cell vehicle say from the fuel cell to the wheels?c. How a fuel cell works?d.  what are the different types of fuel cells and their suitability for various applications and comparisone. What are the different components of PEM fuel cell and their respective functions and their design criteriaf. What is Balance of Plant and how to arrive at the no of fuel cells required for a given vehicle power?g. What is polarization curve and its usagesh. Hydrogen tank Design calculationsAll of the above topics will be discussed in detail which will be easy to understand for the students without any knowledge.Persons who complete this course will be able to gain basic design level skills on fuel cells for vehicles.
