In this article, the thermal properties and characteristics of a metal hydride alloy in a high hydrogen pressure environment were determined. An instrument was used to determine the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat of oxidized and activated Ti1.1CrMn powder under high hydrogen pressures. In doing so, the thermal conductivity of the oxidized powder increased from 0.80 W/m∙K to 1.6 W/m∙K, with increasing hydrogen pressure (from ...
The thermal transport properties of Ti1.1CrMn powder were determined. This metal hydride shows promise for use in hydrogen storage applications due to its excellent cold-start properties. The thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat of oxidized and activated powder samples of this metal hydride were determined using the transient plane source technique in a high pressure vessel. It was found that the effective thermal conductivity of the samples showed ...
