Abstract

A comprehensive performance evaluation index that reflects the heat transfer capacity of the metal hydrides reactor was introduced, and some advantages of this index were discussed. A mathematical model of hydrogen adsorption and desorption was set up, and the validity of the model was confirmed by experimental data reported in literatures. Numerical simulations about working processes of two types of classical reactors (tubular and disc reactor) were performed. The results of comparative study show that the new index can be used in a quantitative evaluation of the reactor performance, and it is more reasonable than traditional ones.
