Abstract
As metal hydride beds have extremely poor heat transfer characteristics, the configurations of hydride reactors will have a marked effect on the performance and cost effectiveness of these metal-hydrogen systems. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop these reactors into the most suitable configurations for optimum heat transfer performance. The results of comparative studies of one-dimensional reactors and two-dimensional reactors can be used as guides to design reactors optimally and to augment heat and mass transfer processes in metal hydride beds. The comparative study of the three elementary reactors reveals the fact that the 011 reactor has an excellent heat and mass transfer performance and reactors with similar configurations may be recommended to be used in practical metal-hydrogen systems.
