Cet ouvrage d'Emile Leipp (1913-1986) présente l'acoustique dans son sens le plus large, c'est à dire "la science générale des sons perçus et intégrés par l'homme". Depuis 1984, date de la 4ème et dernière édition, l'acoustique s'est considérablement développée, mais aucun livre n'est venu remplacer Acoustique et musique publié pour la première fois en 1971 et devenu introuvable.

Seul et unique « traité de terrain » dans le domaine, cet ouvrage présente les principes et les pratiques de la mesure en électricité, électrotechnique et automatismes, en milieu domestique, tertiaire ou industriel :

- les risques d'utilisation de l'énergie électrique, les modes opératoires à respecter avant toute intervention et sur les normes et habilitations en vigueur ;

Ce livre, qui inclut des approches chimiques, synthétiques et interdisciplinaires, présente les techniques et technologies nécessaires pour aider les lecteurs à mieux comprendre les polymères pour les piles à combustible à membrane électrolyte polymère (PEM). Les méthodes présentées dans le livre sont essentielles pour les chercheurs et les scientifiques du domaine et conduiront à de nouveaux développements dans les technologies des polymères et des piles à combustible.

This book introduces readers to the fundamental physics and chemistry of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), followed by discussions on recent advances in low platinum electrocatalysis and related catalyst development for PEMFC (the book’s primary focus), methods of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) fabrication for low platinum catalysts, and durability issues in connection with MEA.

In a multidisciplinary field such as energy, Hydrogen and Fuel Cells stands out by covering the entire width of hydrogen production and usage technologies, giving detailed descriptions of not just one but the range of very different fuel cells that have been developed or are under development.

Hydrogen and Fuel Cells: A Comprehensive Guide explains why hydrogen has emerged as an essential area for research and technology development worldwide. It explores the forces driving the market for hydrogen-powered fuel cells, as well as the technical and economic barriers that could derail a transition toward hydrogen energy systems. 

This book introduces readers to hydrogen as an essential energy carrier for use with renewable sources of primary energy.

 It provides an overview of the state of the art, while also highlighting the developmental and market potential of hydrogen in the context of energy technologies; mobile, stationary and portable applications; uninterruptible power supplies and in the chemical industry. Written by experienced practitioners, the book addresses the needs of engineers, chemists and business managers, as well as graduate students and researchers.

Fuel cell technology is the most exciting and legitimate alternative source of power currently available to us as world resources of non-renewable fuel continue to be depleted. No other power generating technology holds the same benefits that fuel cells offer, including high reliability and efficiency, negligible environmental impact, and security of supply. Fuel cells run on hydrogen – the simplest and most plentiful gas in the universe - although they can also run on carbon monoxide, methane, or even coal.

Fuel Cells: Principles, Design, and Analysis considers the latest advances in fuel cell system development and deployment, and was written with engineering and science students in mind. This book provides readers with the fundamentals of fuel cell operation and design, and incorporates techniques and methods designed to analyze different fuel cell systems. It builds on three main themes: basic principles, analysis, and design.

Since publication of the first edition of Fuel Cell Systems Explained, three compelling drivers have supported the continuing development of fuel cell technology. These are: the need to maintain energy security in an energy-hungry world, the desire to move towards zero-emission vehicles and power plants, and the mitigation of climate change by lowering of CO2 emissions.
