Thermal management of metal hydride (MH) hydrogen storage systems is critically important
to maintain the hydrogen absorption and release rates at desired levels. Implementing …

This manuscript thoroughly analyzes and comprehensively reviews the reactor
configurations and thermal augmentation systems adopted in metal hydride-based …

Metal hydrides have been under focus as a favorable hydrogen storage medium. The heat
transfer to/from the metal hydride reactor bed is one of the major controlling parameters of …

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 …

Even though metal hydrides have been mainly studied for hydrogen storage, their
applications can be extended to thermal energy storage by utilizing the exothermic and …

Metal hydrides (MH) are known as one of the most suitable material groups for hydrogen
energy storage because of their large hydrogen storage capacity, low operating pressure …

Hydrogen is conventionally stored as either a compressed gas or a cryogenic liquid.
However, the lack of efficient storage materials has thus far critically limited the widespread …

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) …

Solid state storage of hydrogen in the form of a reversible metal or alloy hydride has been
proven to be a very effective and compact way of storing hydrogen and its isotopes for both …

This paper reports the numerical investigation of the effect of different phase change
materials (PCMs) on the metal hydride (MH) behaviour in a reactor bed during the …
