A mathematical model of heat and mass transfer in a metal-hydride hydrogen storage device is suggested. Results are given of calculations of the absorption of hydrogen from a gas mixture, including the mode of short-cycle absorption. Analysis is made of the effect produced by a free-convection flow of gas in a ballast volume for different orientations of the module. It is demonstrated that, under the operating conditions of the metal-hydride device being treated, the orientation of the module has a marked effect on the rate of absorption and integral characteristics of the storage device.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
