Estimation of temperature change in practical hydrogen pressure tanks being filled at high pressures of 35 and 70 MPa

Abstract

Some complete experimental data sets, not only on the hydrogen temperature within the tank during filling, but also on the supplied temperature and pressure from the station have been opened for analysis of the temperature change with time. The data were independently obtained for 6 different conditions and have been analyzed and checked to validate the Monde et al. model. It is found that the measured temperatures are well predicted using the software based on the model and the heat loss during filling with hydrogen is also well predicted, if a suitable heat transfer coefficient is adopted.
