ABOUT THE COURSE:The course provides a comprehensive understanding of charge and mass transport phenomena in electrochemical systems, essential for advancing sustainable energy technologies. The course covers fundamental principles such as the Nernst-Planck equations, Poisson equation, and electric double layer (EDL) models, along with electrokinetic effects like electro-osmosis and electrophoresis. Special focus is given to transport in porous media, including charge dynamics in fuel cells, electrolysers, and membrane-based electrolytes. Advanced topics include viscous fingering, solute transport in confined conduits, and liquid-vapor displacement in porous structures. The course also introduces modeling frameworks for green hydrogen production, covering stack design, system integration, and techno-economic assessments. Designed for students and researchers, this course bridges theoretical concept with applications in sustainable electrochemical energy systems.This course is developed as a part of the academic collaboration with IIT Kharagpur, IIPE Visakhapatnam and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, supported through the SPARC research grant (Sanction No.:SPARC/2024-2025/ENSU/P3239, dated 29-04-2024) by the SPARC Apex Committee, Ministry of Education, Govt. India.INTENDED AUDIENCE: Students and industry professionalsPREREQUISITES: Fluid Flow, Mass TransferINDUSTRY SUPPORT: Reliance Industries Ltd. – Energy Division, Tata Steel, GE Renewables, Indian Oil Corp., Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd., and many others in the renewable & sustainable energy sector.
