Hydrogen in Automotive Engineering Production, Storage, Application
Produktdetaljer
This book provides a general overview of the various aspects of the properties, production, storage and application of hydrogen. Emphasis is placed on the thermodynamics of hydrogen as well as its application in automotive engineering using fuel cells and internal combustion engines. Furthermore, possibilities for the energy transition and the sustainable hydrogen economy are presented and further applications of hydrogen in energy technology and industry up to sector coupling are described. This also includes an introduction to materials, safety aspects and legal aspects with a focus on Europe. With reference to research projects at the Graz University of Technology and HyCentA, Hydrogen Center Austria, the current state of the art is presented in a well-founded manner.
Energy Revolution and Hydrogen Economy - Historical Notes - Fundamentals - Production - Storage and Transport - Fuel Cells - Internal Combustion Engines - Further Applications - Materials, Law and Safety
