In order to study the influence of heat transfer performance of solid-state metal hydrogen storage tank based on phase change heat transfer
an experimental platform was built with a solid-state metal hydrogen storage tank based on phase change heat transfer
and the heat absorption behavior of phase change materials in the phase change process was used to dissipate heat during the hydrogen absorption process of the solid-state metal hydrogen storage tank
and the thermodynamic properties of hydrogen storage alloys during the hydrogen absorption process were analyzed. Finally
hydrogen absorption experiments were designed at different melting points
wall thicknesses and hydrogen absorption pressures to test the effects of key parameters such as melting point
wall thickness and hydrogen absorption pressure of different phase change materials on the hydrogen absorption performance of AB solid metal hydrogen storage tank. The results show that in the early stage of the reaction
the heat transfer between the wall and the phase change material is mainly by conduction. As the reaction progresses
the phase change material melts
and more high-temperature liquid phase change material flows upward
pushing the upper liquid interface to move
and under the action of gravity
the phenomenon of thermal buoyancy will be generated
and natural convection dominates in the phase change heat. Under the initial conditions
higher hydrogen absorption pressure and thicker phase change material wall thickness both have a promoting effect on hydrogen absorption efficiency. Higher hydrogen absorption pressure will intensify heat exchange behavior
while a thicker phase change material wall thickness can increase the total amount of thermal energy absorbed. At the same time
the lower melting point of phase change materials can improve the hydrogen absorption efficiency of the tanks and accelerate the temperature drop inside the tanks.
