Abstract

This paper presents a thermodynamic analysis of a metal hydride heat pump working with a ZrMn 2.8 /ZrMn 3.8 pair, taking into account the influence of heat and mass transfer effectiveness on system performance. Results show that mass transfer effectiveness significantly influences the performance of the system. For a given heating capacity, the alloy requirements are reduced at high mass transfer effectiveness. For a given cycle time, the thermal level of heat output improves with heat transfer effectiveness.
