Compressed Hydrogen in Fuel Cell Vehicles: On-board Storage and Refueling Analysis

This book highlights the challenges of using hydrogen as a fuel for sustainable transportation including introduction of various hydrogen storage technologies, storage requirement for fuel cell vehicles, compressed hydrogen storage system, and refueling analysis with thermal management. Furthermore, thermodynamics and kinetics involved during refuelling, heat transfer issues in storage tank and effect of severe operating conditions on structure of storage tank under SAEJ2601 refueling conditions are discussed in detail.

Features:

• Covers design and analysis of on-board storage/tank for compressed hydrogen in fuel-cell vehicle applications.
• Discuss heat transfer issues and effect of severe operating conditions on structure of storage the tank.
• Includes the structural analysis of composite storage tank.
• Provides assessment on refueling process of compressed hydrogen storage system and novel refueling process.
• Deals with thermodynamic and kinetic involved during refueling as per SAEJ2601.

This book aims at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in automotive engineering, energy and power, materials, and chemical engineering.
