Abstract
We present a new model for hydrogenation process and compare our numerical results with experimental data of Jemni. To enhance heat-transfer during hydrogenation process inside metal hydride canister, the evolutionary topology optimization method is applied under reasonable assumptions to find the optimized fin configurations. Then the optimally finned metal hydride canister performance is calculated. Compared with the initial metal hydride canister, the finned metal hydride canister can shorten the absorption time of hydrogen by 86.1 %.
期刊介绍:
International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer serves as a world forum for the rapid dissemination of new ideas, new measurement techniques, preliminary findings of ongoing investigations, discussions, and criticisms in the field of heat and mass transfer. Two types of manuscript will be considered for publication: communications (short reports of new work or discussions of work which has already been published) and summaries (abstracts of reports, theses or manuscripts which are too long for publication in full). Together with its companion publication, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, with which it shares the same Board of Editors, this journal is read by research workers and engineers throughout the world.
