Experimental Measurement and Simulation of the Filling of the Metal Hydride Tank by the Hydrogen

The article is focused on absorption and desorption of hydrogen into metal hydride. It describes underway the actions in the metal hydride tank during of filling this tank. In the first part of the article is described the main segments of the metal hydride tank and its basic technical parameters and the properties of the metal hydride, which tank is filled. It describes the experimental measurement during the filling the tank of hydrogen. During the filling tank with hydrogen is a temperature of the tank very important. The quantity the hydrogen storage and desorption of hydrogen from tank depends on the temperature of the tank. Due to, it is important to determine the characteristic of the tank, mainly the dependence the pressure and temperature. In the article is described of the simulation of filling this tank in the simulation program ANSYS CFX. For the simulation of heating of the tank were used boundary conditions as data from the experimental measurement. With the help this simulation, the evolution of the temperature during the filling of the metal hydride tank during its filling was displayed.
