Abstract

Metal hydride systems provide a technological path for high-energy, high-density hydrogen storage devices for a variety of transit and mobile applications. Metal hydride systems have a wide range of applications due to their high-coupling thermal transfer, mass transfer, and chemical kinetics. The goal of this paper is to model and simulate the quick refuelling of a 9 kg sodium alanate storage tank. The material density of the hydride bed within the canister was 0.62 g ml of NaAIH4. The canister is pressurized and heated before each run. A simulation technique is designed and validated by what has been done to achieve and be noted in the literature as the optimum design for the storage canister. The use of the simulation tool for various storage concepts and geometries results in the final design.
