Download or read book Electrochemical Reactors: Fundamentals, electrolysers, batteries, and fuel cells written by M. I. Ismail and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1989 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a guide for professionals interested in energy transfer and electrochemical technology systems. It covers the state-of-the-art of materials, electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering as related to electrochemical reactors, batteries and fuel cells. The fifteen chapters, written by experts in fields related to every aspect affecting reactor performance, are grouped into three parts. The first is devoted to fundamentals of reactors, batteries and fuel cells and covers various aspects of design, parts, construction, materials operation and control systems. The second group is devoted to specific reactors such as aqueous electro-organic and inorganic synthesis, electrochemical polymerization, molten salt electrolysis, electrochemical machining, metal finishing, reactor performance, failure mechanisms, corrosion control, materials selection and techniques. The third group deals with manufacturing techniques and surface treatment of materials for commercial reactors, commercial parts/materials, fastening, assembly and production of reactor parts and mathematical modelling of various reactor processes.
