Hydrogen discharging and thermal behaviors of ZrCo based hydrogen storage beds equipped with heat-fins or metal-foam

• A 3-D hydrogen desorption model is applied with heat-fin and metal-foam in MHBs. • Temperature was determined by the thermal mass than effective thermal conductivity. • H/M ratio was affected by both the thermal mass and effective thermal conductivity. • The metal-foam based MHB design is superior...

• A 3-D hydrogen desorption model is applied with heat-fin and metal-foam in MHBs. • Temperature was determined by the thermal mass than effective thermal conductivity. • H/M ratio was affected by both the thermal mass and effective thermal conductivity. • The metal-foam based MHB design is superior to the heat-fin based MHB.
