NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF HYDROGEN SORPTION IN METAL HYDRIDE BASED STORAGE BED USING LATTICE BOLTZMANN METHOD

Abstract

Heat transfer is the major sorption rate controlling factor in the storage of hydrogen in solid state hydrogen storage devices. Lattice Boltzmann Method is an important computational scheme for the heat and mass transfer simulation of intricate systems. The present paper deals with the numerical study of the hydrogenation performance of the LaNi5 based alloy bed with the LBM based algorithm. Effect of different geometric and operating parameters on the sorption performance of the device is studied.
