Design and analysis of fuel cell stack for automotive use

Fuel cell is one of the promising power generators that can convert chemical energy in the reactants (hydrogen and oxygen) into useful electrical current, water and heat. It can be used as a power plant to power vehicles propulsion system. This technology is new to the automotive industries in Malay...
