A compressed hydrogen tank is to be repressurized to 40 bar by being connected to a high-pressure line containing hydrogen at 50 bar and 25℃. Hydrogen filling time and the corresponding hydrogen temperature has been estimated when the filling process stopped according to several thermodynamic models. During the process of cooling the hydrogen tank, hydrogen temperature and pressure vs. time estimation was performed using Aspen Dynamics. Filling time, hydrogen temperature after filling hydrogen gas, cooling time and the final tank pressure after tank filling process have been completed according to the thermodynamic models are almost same.

The research on production and application of hydrogen as an alternative energy in the future is being carried out actively. It hydrogen storage is necessary in order that user use hydrogen economically without much difficulty. Among the ways of hydrogen storage the method which is compressed hydrogen gas by high pressure is easier for application than other methods. In this study, we have been calculated gas with changing pressure and temperature variation of container wall through applied to mass and energy balance equation when compressing hydrogen by high pressure, and also to Beattie-Bridgeman equation of state for the kinetic of hydrogen. We will apply above date as a preliminary for design of hydrogen storage tank.

Given the inadequate regulatory framework for liquefied hydrogen gas storage tanks on ships and the limitations of the IGC Code, designed for liquefied natural gas, this study introduces a critical assessment procedure to ensure the safety and suitability of such tank designs. This study performed a heat transfer analysis for boil-off gas (BOG) calculations and established separate design load cases to evaluate the yielding and buckling strength. In addition, the study assessed methodologies for both high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue assessments, complemented by comprehensive structural integrity evaluations using finite element analysis. A comprehensive approach was developed to assess the structural integrity of Type C tanks by conducting crack propagation analysis and comparing these results with the IGC Code criteria. The practicality and efficacy of these methods were validated through their application on a 23K-class liquefied hydrogen carrier at the concept design stage. These findings may have important implications for enhancing safety standards and regulatory policies.

Hydrogen is an green energy without pollution. Recently, fuel cell electric vehicle has been commercialized, and many studies have been conducted on hydrogen tanks for vehicles. The hydrogen tank for vehicles can be charged up to 70 MPa pressure. In this study, the change in filling time, pressure, and temperature for each hydrogen level in a 59 L hydrogen tank was predicted by numerical analysis. The injected hydrogen has the properties of real gas, the temperature is -40℃, and the mass flow rate is injected into the tank at 35 g/s. The initial tank internal temperature is 25℃. Realizable k-epsilon turbulence model was used for numerical analysis. As a result of numerical analysis, it was predicted that the temperature, charging time, and the mass of injected hydrogen increased as the residual capacity of hydrogen is smaller.

In this study, several studies were conducted on the construction of gas conversion process system for a pilot plant using a small-scale hydrogen liquefaction system. The pilot plant considered in this study includes a liquefier, a storage tank, an evaporator, a gas booster, and a gas storage tank. First, the suspected leak area of the container was checked using the sprayed method of helium gas. The small-scale hydrogen liquefaction system was designed based on the analysis results of the pre-cooling system and the liquefaction system. Additionally, the program was developed to maintain pressure within vessel for an automatic production of liquid hydrogen. The evaporator for liquid hydrogen was manufactured based on the designed analysis data, and the pollution of gas in the vessel was analyzed through a gas recovery line system.

Korea government is trying to supply liquid hydrogen from another country to domestic The research for liquid hydrogen transportation and liquefaction plant of hydrogen underway for several years, and empirical research is also planned in the future. Along with the development of liquid hydrogen transport ship/liquefaction plant technology, the development of liquid hydrogen reception base technology must be carried out. In this study, a concept level liquid hydrogen receiving terminal is constructed based on the process of the LNG receiving terminal. Based on this, a study is conducted on the development of analysis technology for the amount of BOG (pipe, tank) generated during cooldown and unloading in the liquid hydrogen unloading line (loading arm to storage tank). The research results are intended to be used as basic data for the design and liquid hydrogen receiving terminal in the future.

In recent years, it is very important that hydrogen storage system is safe for user in any circumstances in case of crash and fire. Because the hydrogen vehicle usually carry high pressurized cylinders, it is necessary to do safety design for fire. The Global Technical Regulation (GTR) has been enacted for localized and engulfing fire test. High pressure hydrogen storage system of fuel cell electrical vehicles are equipped with Thermal Pressure Relief Device (TPRD) installed in pressured tank cylinder to prevent the explosion of the tank during a fire. TPRDs are safety devices that perceive a fire and release gas in the pressure tank cylinder before it is exploded. In this paper, we observed the localized and engulfing behavior of tank safety, regarding the difference of size and types of the tanks in accordance with GTR.

With continuous emission of environmental pollutants and an increase in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, demand to seek other types of energy sources, alternative energy, was needed. Hydrogen, an eco-friendly energy, is attracting attention as the ultimate alternative energy medium. Hydrogen storage technology has been studied diversely to utilize hydrogen energy. In this study, the gas behavior of hydrogen in the storage tank was numerically examined under charge conditions for the Tpe III hydrogen tank. Numerical results were compared with the experimental results to verify the numerical implementation. In the results of pressure and temperature values under charge condition, the Realizable k-ε model and Reynold stress model were quantitatively matched with the smallest error between numerical and experimental results.

Recently, study on hydrogen is being conducted due to environmental pollution and fossil fuel depletion. High-pressure gas hydrogen commonly used is applied to vehicle and tube trailers. In particular, high-pressure hydrogen storage tank for vehicles must comply with the guidelines stipulated in SAE J2601. There is a charging temperature limitation condition for the safety of the storage tank material. In this study, numerical analysis method were verified based on previous studies and the nozzle angle was changed for thermal management to analyze the increase in forced convection effect and energy uniformity due to the promotion of circulation flow. The previously applied high-pressure hydrogen storage tank has a length/diameter ratio of about 2.4 and was analyzed by comparing the length/diameter ratio with 8. As a result, the circulation flow of hydrogen flowing into the high-pressure hydrogen storage tank is promoted at a nozzle angle of 30° than the straight nozzle and accordingly, the effect of suppressing temperature rise by energy uniformity and forced convection was confirmed.
