Magnesium based metal hydride reactor incorporating helical coil heat exchanger: Simulation study and optimal design

Operating Characteristics of Metal Hydride Hydrogen Storage with Pressure Regulation

“…T c c M (8) In this paper, the initial reaction fraction is set to 0.1, and the boundary conditions are constant pressure inlet and constant temperature inlet. The relevant parameters are in Table 1.…”

“…It has a greater commercial value especially for vehicle-mounted energy storage systems [5,6] . Typical MH alloy systems includes LaNi5 system [7] , MgNi system [8] , ZrCo system [9] , etc., among which La-Ni alloys are most widely investigated.…”

Experimental study on full-scale ZrCo and depleted uranium beds applied for fast recovery and delivery of hydrogen isotopes

“…Magnesium hydride is recommended as an ideal hydrogen storage medium for transportation due to its high gravimetric hydrogen capacity. Therefore, many studies are carried out to overcome the impediments of applying magnesium hydride bed to fuel cell vehicles [28,29]. Using high-pressure metal hydride bed is of great interest for high efficient hydrogen compression.…”

Numerical study of magnesium-based metal hydride reactor incorporating multi-phase heat exchanger for thermal energy storage system

“…Many heat transfer cell designs have been employed in the metal hydride reactor (MHR), such as multitubular, helical coil heat exchanger, adding expanded graphite or metal foam, compacted disc of the MH [5]. However, the researches mentioned above focused on the structure design of heat exchanger and the thermal conductivity improvement of the MH bed.…”
