Abstract

Hydrogen storage in high pressure tanks can occur with different filling strategies. Many studies have been carried out on supplies with increasing pressure rates. However, hydrogen filling with constant mass inflow rate have not received the same attention. The present work aims to carry out numerical simulations to study hydrogen flow, in a type 3 tank of 70 MPa NWP and constant inflow rate condition. From the analysis of the results, it was possible to verify that there is a linear relationship between the increase in the total equilibrium temperature and the final hydrogen temperature. There is also a linear increasing relationship between Inlet and final temperatures when the equilibrium temperature is fixed. Considering fully adiabatic walls results in significant increases in temperature. The difference between total and static temperatures found in the Inlet tube decreases with the decrease in mass flow rate. The choice of a polymer for the tank lining led to higher temperatures when compared to an aluminum lining.
