Dynamic modeling of hydrogen desorption from a metal hydride tank using the electrical fluidic analogy

The current work presents a modeling study of the thermal behavior during discharge of a hydride hydrogen tank. In a thermal coupling between a fuel cell and its associated hydride hydrogen tank, the hydrogen desorption kinetics depends on temperature, nature of the hydride, the tank design, but also on the hydrogen demand from the fuel cell in terms of mass flow and pressure. The objective of the study is to demonstrate the dynamic response of hydrogen discharge from a metal hydride tank by using the fluidic electrical
