Experimental Study on Hydrogen Storage Using Cyclic Hydrocarbons-Dehydrogenation of Cyclohexane during Boiling Heat Transfer Process

摘要

Dehydrogenation of cyclohexane that is expecting as one of the hydrogen storage materials was studied experimentally. A cylindrical heater attached a carbon fiber sheet with dimension of 50×63 mm{sup}2 wide on supported Pt catalyst was immersed and heated in the reactant. The effects of heat flux and liquid subcooling on hydrogen evolution from the reactant and withdrawal of benzene from the products are clarified. Discussion is also presented on the dehydrogenation enhancement in this process.
