Proceedings of the hydride storage reservoir symposium/workshop

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5911197
The use of metal hydrides as a storage medium for hydrogen is generally accepted to be a viable and useful technology. A number of scientific and engineering considerations remain to be answered and they provide the justification for this DOE sponsored Symposium/Workshop. The conference was held on June 20 and 21, 1978, at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and included a limited number of invited metal hydride experts. The main areas of interest, which set the guidelines for the twelve presentations and the workshop topics, included Hydride Reservoir Container Materials, Hydride Reservoir Internal Engineering Design, Hydride Bed Heat and Mass Transfer, and Hydride Fundamental Properties. These Proceedings include the abstracts of each of the formal presentations and the summations of each of the Workshop Chairmen. The full text of two papers which were not presented are included as Appendix B. The titles are Development of low cost nickel-rare earth hydrides for hydrogen storage and an exact solution of diffusion and absorption of hydrogen in uranium followed by fracture of the hydride.
