An optimal hydrogen storage reactor should have a higher chemical reaction rate by which
the heat can be exchanged as fast as possible. The configuration of heat exchanger …

Hydrogen storage is now the “bottleneck” to realise the application of hydrogen as
renewable energy. This is because most metals can reversibly absorb hydrogen …

Tree-shaped fins were introduced to improve the heat transfer of metal hydride reactor. A
two-dimensional steady-state model was first applied to obtain the optimal geometric …

Abstract The ITER Test Blanket Module (TBM) Program has significantly evolved since 2018.
The number of equatorial ports allocated for operating the Test Blanket Systems (TBSs) has …

This paper presents the heat and mass transfer study during charging and discharging
processes in a metal hydride reactor (MHR) equipped with phase change material (PCM) …

In this paper, a Metal Hydride (MH) reactor integrated with an Embossed Plate Heat
Exchanger (EPHX) was studied for the first time for its hydrogen absorption rate and thermal …

Due to their large volumetric storage capacity for hydrogen at safe, moderate temperatures
and pressures, metal hydrides have received much attention by researchers. Since one of …

A novel cylindrical metal hydride (MH) reactor embedded rectangle heat exchange channels
(RHEC) was proposed in this work. The hydrogen absorption of RHEC was studied and …

Hydrogen sorption characteristics of 5 kg-LaNi 5 reactor featuring conical fins and heat
transfer tubes is experimentally studied at various water flow rates (V s: 2.5, 5, 7 LPM), inlet …

A novel cylindrical metal hydride (MH) reactor with loop-type finned tube and jacket heat
exchanger was proposed in this work. This MH reactor is expected to possess high …
