“…However, the selection criteria and design approaches for the heat management system are typically not well-documented in the literature or rarely investigated. The selection of a particular heat exchanger, especially for experimental studies, is driven mainly by the availability of the single components rather than the result of an optimization analysis [15,[21][22][23]. Simple and complex computational models have been applied to describe the performance of complete thermal cycles in terms of the coefficient of performance (COP) but often lack general insights into the selection criteria for the heat exchanger [14,20,24,25].…”

This study presents a design analysis for the development of highly efficient heat exchangers within stationary metal hydride heat pumps. The design constraints and selected performance criteria are applied to three representative heat exchangers. The proposed thermal model can be applied to select the most efficient heat exchanger design and provides outcomes generally valid in a pre-design stage. Heat transfer effectiveness is the principal performance parameter guiding the selection analysis, the results of which appear to be mildly (up to 13%) affected by the specific Nusselt correlation used. The thermo-physical properties of the heat transfer medium and geometrical parameters are varied in the sensitivity analysis, suggesting that the length of independent tubes is the physical parameter that influences the performance of the heat exchangers the most. The practical operative regions for each heat exchanger are identified by finding the conditions over which the heat removal from the solid bed enables a complete and continuous hydriding reaction. The most efficient solution is a design example that achieves the target effectiveness of 95%.

“…Metal hydrides have drawn great interest from the research community due to their potential advantageous applications in the field of metal hydride based batteries, hydrogen storage for transportation, switchable mirrors, and heat pump applications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Misch metal (Mm) based AB 5 alloys have been investigated in detail because of their low cost and large cyclic stability due to their low hydrogen decrepitation.…”

Pressure–composition (P–C) hydrogen absorption isotherms have been obtained for MmNi3.5Al0.5Fe0.5Co0.5+0.5 wt% B and MmNi3.5Al0.5Fe0.5Co0.5 +25 wt% polyaniline (PANI) in the ranges 30–100 °C and 0.1–40 bar using a high pressure Seiverts’ apparatus. The phase structure and microstructure morphologies of as-prepared and ball-milled materials have been analysed by XRD and SEM respectively. The effect of particle size, boron addition and PANI dispersion on the hydrogen absorption kinetics in MmNi3.5Al0.5Fe0.5Co0.5 has been studied and discussed. The diffusion coefficient and activation energy of dissolved hydrogen in MmNi3.5Al0.5Fe0.5Co0.5, MmNi3.5Al0.5Fe0.5Co0.5+0.5 wt% B and MmNi3.5Al0.5Fe0.5Co0.5+25 wt% PANI have been obtained from the studies of hydrogen absorption kinetics using the first order rate equation and the results have been discussed.
