MODELING A METAL HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE SYSTEM Presented by Apurba Sakti EGEE 520 1st May, 2007
Introduction • Hydrogen storage in metal hydride bed • Storage through adsorption and desorption • Conduction, convection and diffusion • 2D axi-symmetric model [1] 1. Veziroglu et al. Int. Journal of Energy Res. 2003; 27:1027-1038
Governing Equations Energy equation Where, Momentum balance equation Hydrogen Mass Balance div Reaction Kinetics
Formulation Cooling Fluid Initial Temperature 293K Cooling Fluid Axial symmetry Constitutive Relation: Darcy’s law Conduction, Convection and Diffusion Hydrogen Charge
Solution Pressure Temperature Concentration Concentration
Validation [1] Hydride formation Temperature Profile 1. Veziroglu et al. Int. Journal of Energy Res. 2003; 27:1027-1038
Parametric Study Temperature (*0.1) Temperature (*10)
Conclusion • Temperature and Concentration profiles modeled (results agree with literature) • Cooling fluid improves hydride formation • Future work will include building on this groundwork to make the model represent more accurately.
