Abstract

This paper presents simulation and analysis of three-dimensional, transient, coupled heat and mass transfer
process in a multi-corrugated reactor filled with metal hydride MmNi6.4Al0.4 during hydrogen absorption. The model is
validated, the average bed temperature of cylindrical reactor at 30 bar supply pressure showed good agreement with the
experimental data reported in the literature. Hydrogen storage performance of the system is numerically analysed by
implementation of corrugation, varying the tube pitch layout and operating parameters such as hydrogen supply
pressure in the system. Further, the effects of supply hydrogen pressure and cooling fluid temperature are also presented.
