NUMERICAL TRANSIENT HEAT TRANSFER ANALYSIS OF REACTOR FOR MAGNESIUM BASED ALLOY FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE APPLICATION

Metal hydrides are potential hydrogen storage media. They release hydrogen at moderate temperatures and pressures. Magnesium hydride is a promising approach for stationary power system application, due to high hydrogen storage capacity by weight. Magnesium hydride based reactor design is more complex due to high thermal energy release and absorption during hydriding reaction and dehydriding reaction, respectively. In this study, results of a numerical modeling study are presented for a 1.5 kg Magnesium alloy based hydriding reactor. Temperature profile in the reactor is computed by FEM analysis using ANSYS software for hydriding and dehydriding reaction. FEM analysis indicates that the reactor temperature is raised from 200 C to 422 ºC in 20 minutes during the hydriding process. Hence, a “cooling system” is required for maintaining temperature during the hydriding process. During the dehydriding process, maximum temperature drop occurs from 350 C to 189 ºC in 20 minutes. Therefore, an external heat source of 2 kW is required for maintaining the temperature during dehydriding. Details are presented
