Dehydrogenation of metal hydride reactor-phase change materials coupled with light-duty fuel cell vehicles. Energies, 15(9),2982. https://doi.org/10.3390/en150929821996-1073https://doi.org/10.3390/en15092982http://hdl.handle.net/10566/7890The popularity of using phase change materials (PCMs) for heat storage and recovery of metal hydrides’ reaction has grown tremendously. However, a fundamental study of the coupling of such a system with a low-temperature PEM (polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cell is still lacking. This work presents a numerical investigation of the dehydrogenation performance of a metal hydride reactor (MHR)-PCM system coupled with a fuel cell. It is shown that to supply the fuel cell with a constant H2 flow rate, the PCM properties need to be in an optimized range.enMetal hydridesHydrogenFuel cell vehiclesChemistrySouth AfricaArticle
