Electrochemical Systems (eBook)

JOHN NEWMAN, PhD, has been a professor of chemical engineering atthe University of California, Berkeley, since 1963. Known worldwidefor his seminal papers in the mathematical analysis ofelectrochemical problems, both analytic and numerical, he is amember of the National Academy of Engineering and the recipient ofseveral awards from the Electrochemical Society. He is the formerassociate editor for the Journal of the Electrochemical Society andcurrent Director of the U. S. Department of Energy's Batteries forAdvanced Transportation Technologies program. KAREN E. THOMAS-ALYEA received her PhD in chemical engineeringfrom the University of California, Berkeley, in 2002. Her work hasinvolved modeling of batteries and fuel cells.

"...a solid, well-rounded discussion of the principal aspects ofelectrochemistry and is well suited for use as a graduate-leveltextbook. Also, it will make a valuable personal library additionfor the corrosion professional..." (Corrosion, December2005)

"Newman obviously has extensive experience in electrochemistry,as evidenced by his sophisticated treatment of the subject in thisvolume." (Journal of Metals Online, March 8, 2005)

"...it will be a useful to anyone involved in the practiceof electrochemistry...highly recommended." (CHOICE,November 2004)
