Electrochemical engineering

"This book covers both fundamental principles and applications of electrochemical engineering. The goal is to create a text for classroom instruction or independent study at the senior undergraduate and beginning graduate student level. It provides numerous worked out illustrations as well as a large number of end-of chapter problems. A supplementary solution manual has been developed"--
