Modelling a kinetic deviation of the magnesium hydrogenation reaction at conditions close to equilibrium (2019)
Journal Article
Adams, M., Grant, D. M., Stuart, A., & Walker, G. S. (2019). Modelling a kinetic deviation of the magnesium hydrogenation reaction at conditions close to equilibrium. International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 44(55), 29123-29131. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2019.04.036

A model has been derived for the magnesium hydrogenation reaction at conditions close to equilibrium. The reaction mechanism involves an adsorption element, where the model is an extension of the Langmuir adsorption model. The concept of site availab...

A multistage Metal Hydride Hydrogen Compression (MHHC) system uses a combination of hydride materials in order to increase the total compression ratio, whilst maximizing the hydrogenation rate from the supply pressure at each stage. By solving the co... Read More about Numerical study on a two-stage metal hydride hydrogen compression system.
