FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATION FOR THERMAL EFFECTS IN CRYO-ADSORPTIVE HYDROGEN STORAGE TANK
In todays fossil fuels are depleted, hydrogen as an ideal clean energy has been gradually into our field of vision. For current technology, the production of hydrogen is no longer a problem, but large-scale hydrogen storage and transport for the promotion of hydrogen, is still a huge challenge. The aim of this paper is to study hydrogen storage in an on-board hydrogen adsorption storage tank under low temperature through the finite element analysis software COMSOL Multiphysics? . The experimental study is carried out in a cylindrical tank with granular adsorbents in which the bed temperature is measured at various positions. The adsorbents we use in the experiment are activated carbon (NORITRO.8) and metal-organic-frameworks(Cu-BTC-1,3,5). Adsorption isotherms for hydrogen uptake for both adsorbents are measured by gravimetric method and fitted in accordance to the Langmuir equation. As the temperature elevations occur in the charge process, the reduction of the storage capacity is granted. This study provides a fundamental understanding of the detailed heat and mass transfer phenomena during the hydrogen absorption process.
