METHOD OF ANALYZING NUMERIC MODEL FOR METAL HYDRIDE TANK

摘要

A method of analyzing a numeric model for a metal hydride tank, which calculates the temperature change and the change of a reaction rate and the hydrogen concentration in the alloy resulting from a hydrogen reaction based on various user conditions with respect to metal hydride (MH) alloy tanks having various shapes when MH alloy tanks are actually used. The method includes (a) inputting a temperature (T), a real reaction flow rate (Q_R), and an initial data value of hydrogen concentration (C) for each cell of a model, (b) calculating a possible reaction rate (R_P) depending on the temperature (T) and the hydrogen concentration (C) in the metal hydride alloy with respect to each cell, (c) calculating a possible flow rate (Q_P) with respect to an entire MH alloy region, and (d) calculating a k between the real reaction flow rate (Q_R) and the possible reaction flow rate (Q_P).
