The numerical approach adopted in toba computer code for mass and heat transfer dynamic analysis of metal hydride hydrogen storage beds
Modelling studies of metal hydride hydrogen storage beds is a part of an extensive R and D program conducted in Egypt on hydrogen energy. In this context two computer programs; namely RET and RET1; have been developed. In RET computer program, a cylindrical conduction bed model is considered and an approximate analytical solution is used for solution of the associated mass and heat transfer problem. This problem is solved in RET1 computer program numerically allowing more flexibility in operating conditions but still limited to cylindrical configuration with only two alternatives for heat exchange; either fluid is passing through tubes imbedded in the solid alloy matrix or solid rods are surrounded by annular fluid tubes. The present computer code TOBA is more flexible and realistic. It performs the mass and heat transfer dynamic analysis of metal hydride storage beds using a variety of geometrical and operating alternatives.
