Numerical simulation of the effect of aluminum foam on sorption induced wall strain in vertical, metal hydride based hydrogen storage container

Review of thermal management technology for metal hydride reaction beds

“…159 The optimal amount of the foam added is dependent on the size of the MHR, saturation time of the MHB, and form of foam added. 64,160,161 As shown in Fig. 11b, the MHR with the metal foam added shows a 60% faster hydrogen absorption rate than the MHR without metal foam during the testing of the whole MHR.…”

Enhancement of hydrogen storage performance in shell and tube metal hydride tank for fuel cell electric forklift

“…The hydrogen flow is determined by Darcy's law of an ideal gas. The heat transfer in the MH bed is assumed as a local thermal equilibrium process, and thermal radiation in the bed is ignored [20][21][22][23].…”

Numerical investigation of two discharging procedures of a metal hydride‐hydrogen storage tank

“…Thus, several techniques have been proposed by several works to accelerate heat transfer and reduce the MH‐HST charging/discharging times. Some of useful techniques among them are available as metal foam, 1‐6 hydride‐graphite‐composites, 7‐9 micro‐encapsulation, 10 fins, 11‐18 cooling jacket containing a recirculating coolant, 19‐22 internal cooling tubes, 23‐30 heat pipes, 31‐34 helical‐coil, 35‐39 size and aspect ratio of the tank, 40 new metal hydrides, 41‐44 compartmentalization, 45 physical mixing, 46 metal of the tank envelope, 47 particle radius and porosity, 48,49 pulverization and self‐densification, 50 nanomodification, 51‐53 and embossed plate heat exchanger 54…”
