Book Description

The problem of greenhouse gas (particularly carbon dioxide) release during power generation in fixed and mobile systems is widely acknowledged. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices offering clean and efficient energy production by the direct conversion of gaseous fuel into electricity. As such, they are under active study for commercial stationary power generation, residential applications and in transportation. The control of fuel cell systems under a variety of environmental conditions and over a wide operating range is a crucial factor in making them viable for extensive use in every-day technology.

In Control of Fuel Cell Power Systems the application of fuel cells in automotive powertrains is emphasized because of the significance of the contribution to global CO ₂ emissions made by ground vehicle propulsion and because of the challenge presented by the accompanying control problems. The authors’ comprehensive control-oriented approach provides:

• An overview of the underlying physical principles and the main control objectives and difficulties associated with the implementation of fuel cell systems.

• System-level dynamic models derived from the physical principles of the processes involved.

• Formulation, in-depth analysis and detailed control design for two critical control problems, namely, the control of the cathode oxygen supply for a high-pressure direct hydrogen fuel cell system and control of the anode hydrogen supply from a natural gas fuel processor system.

• Multivariable controllers that attenuate restraints resulting from lack of sensor fidelity or actuator authority.

• Real-time observers for stack variables that confer redundancy in fault detection processes.

• Examples of the assistance of control analysis in fuel cell redesign and performance improvement.

• Downloadable SIMULINK® model of a fuel cell for immediate use supplemented by sample MATLAB® files with which to run it and reproduce some of the book plots.

Primarily intended for researchers and students with a control background looking to expand their knowledge of fuel cell technology, Control of Fuel Cell Power Systems will also appeal to practicing fuel cell engineers through the simplicity of its models and the application of control algorithms in concrete case studies. The thorough coverage of control design will be of benefit to scientists dealing with the electrochemical, materials and fluid-dynamic aspects of fuel cells.

Review for Control of Fuel Cell Power Systems : Principles, Modeling, Analysis and Feedback Design.......2006-03-24

A complete book that give to the reader the methodology
to model and understand the fuel cell dynamics and control.
The companion software allows deep insight of the modelling and control problem, and the "what-if" analysis.

Very poor book.......2005-11-16

This is a book with a series of simplifications and assumptions. I thought that it would help me deal with real control problems of fuel cell power systems. Instead it deals with only linearized models that can be easily solved by applying modern control theory.It is less than an introductory book really poor written.

Book Description

Chemical Thermodynamics: Principles and Applications presents a thorough development of the principles of thermodynamics--an old
science to which the authors include the most modern applications, along with those of importance in developing the science and those of
historical interest. The text is written in an informal but rigorous style, including ancedotes about some of the great thermodynamicists (with some of whom the authors have had a personal relationship), and focuses on "real" systems in the discussion and figures, in contrast to the generic examples that are often used in other textbooks.
The book provides a basic review of thermodynamic principles, equations, and applications of broad interest. It covers the development of thermodynamics as one of the pre-eminent examples of an exact science. A discussion of the standard state that emphasizes its significance and usefulness is also included, as well as a more rigorous and indepth treatment of thermodynamics and discussions of a wider variety of applications than are found in more broadly based physical chemistry undergraduate textbooks.
Combined with its companion book, Chemical Thermodynamics: Advanced Applications, the practicing scientist will have a complete reference set detailing chemical thermodynamics.

Thermodynamics at the Forefront of Science.......2000-09-15

Not only does this volume provide a concise summary of the classical laws of thermodynamics, it offers a critical appraisal of some of the modern applications of thermodynamics. Definitions of thermodynamic quantities and processes are clearly introduced. Long and complicated derivations are reduced to their bare essentials. A case in point is the reduction of Kelvin's derivation of the relationship of heat and entropy. The book also includes more modern and controversal topics such as the thermodynamics of black holes, negative heat capacities in cosmological systems, and negative temperatures in systems with a limited number of degrees of freedom. The property of the concavity of the entropy is highlighted and is shown to be in contradiction with the Bekenstein-Hawking expression for the entropy of a black hole. There are even answers and solutions to problems, and a glossary for easy reference.

I would not have made it through the class without this book.......2007-05-10

This book is wonderful. Too bad my professor was unable (or unwilling) to teach introductory phsyics in an understandable manner. I am a psych/neuroscience person, so much of this stuff was new to me. But, It was well explained with an entertaining take on it all.

Recommended.

A highly readable overview of physics.......2007-02-14

Art Hobson's user-friendly book provides a panoptic overview of physics. The book focuses on describing some of the key points of physics in conceptual terms, without presuming any formal mathematical training on the reader's part.

Hobson's book begins with the emergence of modern science and the first of the major post-Renaissance revolutions of Western thought - namely, the Copernican revolution. One of the things that Hobson shows is that the proper way of thinking about scientific knowledge is in terms of models that are more or less correct and not in terms of absolute truths. In this respect he shows how the Copernican model was an improvement on Ptolemy's model and how it more accurately predicted heavenly motions. Ptolemy's theory, in turn, was an improvement on the previously accepted multiple spheres theory and subsequently, the Copernican theory was superseded by Kepler's elliptical planetary orbits. A scientific theory therefore is judged in terms of how well it fits certain facts and not in terms of absolute truth or falsity. As Hobson is quick to warn, this does not mean that science is guess-work or an approach to gaining knowledge that is no more valid than other approaches. The scientific method remains the best known method of gaining knowledge, with its mixture of empiricism and rationalism.

Another prefatory chapter follows in which the atomic nature of matter is expounded and from there Hobson goes on to focus on classical, Newtonian physics. He discusses Newton's famous laws of motion and gravity and illustrates the way in which Newtonian mechanics came to replace the deeply flawed tenets of Aristotelian physics. Newton's laws unified motions on Earth with the motions of the heavenly bodies and were influential in shaping a particular view of the Universe that still dominates popular culture.

From here Hobson begins the third part of the book which traces the transition from the classical to the new physics. These chapters focus on thermodynamics, light and electromagnetism. These chapters serve to introduce the fourth and most interesting part of the book with a special focus on the post-Newtonian universe. The content of the next several chapters is based on the special and general theories of relativity and quantum physics. Hobson is able to distill many of the counter-intuitive concepts of relativity and quantum theories in ways that make them intelligible to the general reader. He is able to show, for example, how Einstein's special theory of relativity actually has a very simple and elegant structure and is derived from just two fundamental axioms (the constancy of light speed and the constancy of the laws of physics within an inertial frame of reference). Once the reader grasps certain basic axioms the rest of the theory, no matter how seemingly odd or impossible, seems to logically follow. Similarly, the chapters on quantum physics make for extremely interesting reading as the reader is gradually introduced to the wave-particle duality of matter and radiation, quantum entanglement, quantum computing and non-locality effects.

The last part of the book largely focuses on nuclear processes (radioactive decay, fission and fusion) and quantum field theories. One of the book's main themes is the significance of post-Newtonian physics and its implications for how we view the underlying fabric of reality. Our scientific worldview has shifted from one which viewed our physical Universe as being composed of simply `atoms and empty space' to one that sees the entire fabric of the Universe (minus gravitational phenomena) as being permeated by just two fundamental force fields (the electroweak and the strong force field) and six matter fields. The post-Newtonian revolution in physics has not really ended and some of the latest developments in physics will have far reaching consequences for how we conceive the physical world. Hobson's book is a good place to start for those people in the general public who wish to be better educated about where our current understanding of the physical world stands and where it has come from.

Engagingly written intro to the basic ideas of physics for non-majors.......2006-10-23

I think this is a terrific book for its target audience. This is not a book on physics for science majors or people who are already comfortable in handling science with mathematics. However, given the absolutely awful state of mathematical understanding outside of science departments, there is a need to help non-majors develop some intuitions about how the universe is put together and how it actually works. I mean, just look at most of the commercials for screwy products making pseudo health and diet claims and you know that no matter how much we do, we need to do more to educate everyone about actual science and math.

So, this book is well written and I think it is organized well. It has eighteen chapters organized into five parts. The author starts framing the universe in its vast size and the stars as well as exposing the principles of atoms and their constituent parts. He then takes the students through Newton, Galileo, and the mechanical Universe in part 2.

Part 3 discusses principles of energy, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, radiation and global climate change (FYI-this book takes the notion that it is known that humans are causing global warming). Part 4 takes the student into the Theory of Relativity, New Cosmology, what is being done to search for extra-terrestrial intelligence, and the quantum Universe. In part 5 we go inside the atom, fusion and fission, the problem with finding energy, and quantum fields.

And the epilogue sums things up.

I like the book and am using it with my teenage son who is very interested in science. It is a way to get him ready for his high school studies by orienting him to key ideas and the basic principles of what used to be called natural philosophy.

However, this is NOT a suitable physics text for science majors wanting to get prepared for handling actual science courses. It is a basic text for people who would like to become familiar with the basic notions of science and for young people preparing for their first science courses in high school.

Exceptionally well-written.......2006-08-28

This is exceptionally well-written and easy to understand, with lots of features (quotes, cartoons, drawings, "how-do-we-knows", etc.) to hold the reader's interest. It is also up-to-date and covers a wide range of subjects, such as global warming. It is very far from the "dry" physics texts I remember. Of particular note is the introduction of a "quantized matter field" that replaces the notion of particles.

A Review of Physics by Art Hobson.......2004-04-22

There is a place for science books for nonmajors. But I
oppose the dumbing down of physics classes that seems to be
taking place in many colleges. I think that at least a weak
version of Whorf's hypothesis is true: what you can think is
limited to some degree by the languages you know. (See
Language in Mind, Gentner and Goldin-Meadow, MIT Press 2003)
If a student doesn't learn math then she will not be able to
think all the thoughts she needs to when it comes to physics.

An anchor in the stormy seas of self employment.......2007-03-22

If you are starting a business, this book is for you. If you're already in business for yourself, this book is definitely for you! If you think you're going crazy, fear you've made a mistake leaving that 9 to 5 job, or wonder if you've really got the stomach to blaze your own path - don't go another day without this book! Practical, insightful, and a huge sigh of relief.

"Good Morning, Captain.".......2006-03-24

I say this to myself in the mirror every morning. Then, with coffee in hand, I head to the Conference Room which consists of my back patio. While birds chortle and chirp and my dogs noisily eat their breakfast, I pick up my copy of Spare Room Tycoon by James Chan and refer back to 'The Seventy Lessons of Sane Self-Employment.' This book is filled with timeless encouragement and eloquent inspiration. I refer back to it every day. It's like having my very own tireless cheer leader as handy as my coffee table. Thank you Mr. Chan, for giving me the courage to take back myself and find my own direction. Full speed ahead.

Helped keep me focused and positive.......2005-08-30

I very much enjoyed reading "Spare Room Tycoon."

I've this year left my full-time work at an international publishing company to start my own writing, editing and training company - and am enjoying the new-found burst of creativity the change has brought.

"Spare Room Tycoon" has helped to keep me focused and feeling positive - and not alone in my quest to find a better quality of life rather than just money.

I've recommended the book to a former colleague who is planning an escape to her own spare room soon in order to - like me - more fully enjoy her creative life.

Timeless Advice.......2005-05-15

I bought this book a few years ago, read it, and loved it. I recently pulled it out and started re-reading it again. Its' words are timeless for me. It's one of the few business books that has a permanent spot on my shelf.

Honest, Humorous: A delightful blend of philosophy & reality.......2005-04-28

Having just quit my smug corporate job as a "junior officer on the Titanic" in hopes of becoming "captain of my dinghy", I am terrified, but I am also relieved to have the freedom to pursue what I want. Reading "Spare Room Tycoon" showed me that people DO fail sometimes, through no fault of their own. Fear of failure should not keep a Tycoon from pursuing his/her dreams. Have passion, be brave and evolve.

Reading this book provided me with wonderful insights and hard-won lessons based on the real-life experiences of more experienced Tycoons from diverse backgrounds and industries. Dr. Chan did an incredible job of capturing the emotions of his subjects in addition to the technical business details, which made me feel even more invested in their stories.

This book is about "forging your own Myth, being the Hero in a story of your own making". It was not meant to be a how-to book; rather, it puts the reader in the proper mindset to discover for himself the "how-to's" of his own unique path.
