The papers contained herein cover a wide range of electro chemical engineering topics and should serve as useful starting points in the design of electrochemical cells. The editor would like to thank the authors for their contribu tions and patience and the typists, Mrs. Susan 'Firth and Mrs. Jeri Saulsbury, for their efforts. Also, the editor would like to thank Mr. T. Nguyen and Ms. M. A. Nictrolson for their help in preparing the index of this book. R. E.
