Reverse engineering: 3 kW polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell for UPS system / Tengku Afiq Nasir Tuan Mohd Hashim

Fuel cells are static energy conversion devices that can generate electricity by using the combustion of hydrogen. Experimental works on one of the type of fuel cell which is a 3 kW water-cooled Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) was conducted at the Fuel Cell Lab of the Faculty of Mechanica...
