摘要：

A mathematical model for predicting the performances of a three-stage metal hydride based hydrogen compressor (MHHC) is presented. The performance of the MHHC is predicted by solving the unsteady heat and mass transfer characteristics of the coupled metal hydride beds of cylindrical configuration. The governing equations for energy, momentum and mass conservations, and reaction kinetic equations are solved simultaneously using the finite volume method. Metal hydrides chosen for a three-stage MHHC are LaNi5, MmNi(4.6)Al(0.4) and Ti0.99Zr0.01V0.43Fe0.99Cr0.05Mn1.5. Numerical results obtained for a single-stage MHHC using mmNi(4.6)Al(0.4) are in good agreement with the experimental data reported in the literature. Using three-stage compression, a maximum pressure ratio of 28 is achieved for the supply conditions of 20 degrees C absorption temperature and 2.5 bar supply pressure. A maximum delivery pressure of 100 bar is obtained for the operating conditions of 20 degrees C absorption temperature and 120 degrees C desorption temperature.
