Heat Transfer in High-Pressure Metal Hydride Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-pressure metal hydride vehicular hydrogen storage systems can offer good overall gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen densities. Enhanced heat transfer techniques will be essential to achieve established goals for tank filling times. A numerical model is developed to simulate the hydrogen filling process of a subscale high-pressure metal hydride (Ti1.1CrMn) system. The model is validated by comparison of simulated and experimental transient temperature profiles of both metal hydride and gas. The substantial influence of free convection in the system was discovered. As such, heat transfer enhancement by free convection is discussed and illustrated in a practical configuration.

High power solid state laser systems operating in a pulse mode dissipate the transient and excessively large waste heat from the laser diode arrays and gain material. The heat storage option using Phase Change Materials (PCMs) has been considered to manage such peak heat loads not relying on oversized systems for real-time cooling. However, the PCM heat storage systems suffer from the low heat ...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF PRESSURE EFFECT ON HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT AT THE METAL- MOLD INTERFACE FOR CASTING OF A356 AL ALLOY
Abstract: During solidification and casting in metallic molds, the heat flow is controlled by the thermal resistance at the casting-mold interface. Thus heat transfer coefficient at the metal- mold interface has a predominant effect on the rate of heat transfer. In some processes such as low pressure and die-casting, the effect of pressure on molten metal will affect the rate of heat transfer a...
