x Introduction to Transfer Phenomena in PEM Fuel Cells
Chapter 3 presents the mass transfer phenomena in the different layers of
a fuel cell and, at different scales, in the membrane.
In Chapter 4, heat transfer phenomena are discussed. A broad overview
of the energy balance equations is given for the overall fuel cell and also for
each of its layers. The identification of heat sources and the thermal
management of the fuel cell are presented at the end of this chapter.
At the end of each chapter, a conclusion will summarize the key
concepts.

At the end of the book, a rich collection of bibliographic references can
be found. Indeed, this includes the work of doctoral dissertations, the best
French and English-speaking books that the author has been able to translate,
masters dissertations and articles of scientific research.

All comments and suggestions are welcome, and it will be taken into
consideration for a potential improvement of this book in subsequent
editions.
