The analysis of temperature behavior of a hydrogen tank during refueling is of significance to clarify the safety of the compressed hydrogen storage in vehicles since the temperature at a tank rises with inflow of hydrogen. A mass balance and an energy balance were combined to obtain analytical model for temperature change during the hydrogen refueling. The equation was coupled to Peng-Robinson-Gasem (PRG) equation of state (EOS) for hydrogen. The PRG EOS was adopted after comparison with other four different cubic EOSs. A parameter of the model was determined to fit data from experiments of various inlet flow rates and temperatures. The temperature and pressure change with refueling time were obtained by the developed model. The calculation results revealed that the extent of precooling was more effective than the flow rate control.

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.

High pressure gas is a widely used storage mode for hydrogen fuel. A typical hydrogen tank that is charged with hydrogen gas can function as a hydrogen supply source in a large number of applications. The filling process of a high-pressure hydrogen tank should be reasonably short. However, when the fill time is short, the maximum temperature in the tank increases. Therefore the process should be designed in such a way to avoid high temperatures in the tank because of safety reasons. The paper simulates the fast filling process of hydrogen tanks using Computational Fluid Dynamics method. The local temperature distribution in the tank is obtained. Results obtained are compared with available experimental data. Further work is going on to improve the accuracy of the calculations.

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.

Hydrogen energy as an alternative source of energy has been receiving tremendous support around the world, and research is being actively conducted accordingly. However, most of the studies focus on hydrogen storage tanks and only are few studies on interpreting the hydrogen filling system itself. In this study, with reference to SAE J2601, a hydrogen fueling protocol, a simulation model was developed that can confirm the behavior of the vehicle's internal tank during hydrogen fueling. With respect to factors such as fuel supply temperature, ambient temperature, and pressure increase rate, the developed model can check the change of temperature and pressure in the tank and the state of hydrogen charging during hydrogen fueling. The validity of the developed simulation model was confirmed by comparing the simulation results with the experimental results presented in SAE J2601.

Securing energy sources is a key element essential to economic and industrial development in modern society, and research on renewable energy and hydrogen energy is now actively carried out. This research was conducted through experiments and analytical methods on the hydrogen filling process in the hydrogen storage tank of the hydrogen charging station. When low-temperature, high-pressure hydrogen was injected into a high-pressure tanks where hydrogen is charged, the theoretical method was used to analyze the changes in temperature and pressure inside the high-pressure tanks, the amount of hydrogen charge, and the charging time. The analysis was conducted in the initial vacuum state, called the First Cycle, and when the residual pressure was present inside the tanks, called the Second Cycle. As a result of the analysis, the highest temperature inside the tanks in the First Cycle of the high-pressure tank increased to 442.11 K, the temperature measured through the experiment was 441.77 K, the Second Cycle increased to 397.12 K, and the temperature measured through the experiment was 398 K. The results obtained through experimentation and analysis differ within ±1%. The results of this study will be useful for future hydrogen energy research and hydrogen charging station.

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.

It is not easy to refuel quickly and safely with 70 MPa hydrogen. This is because the temperature in the vehicle tank rises sharply due to Joule-Thomson effect, etc. Thus protocols such as SAE J2601 in the United States and JPEC-S 0003 in Japan were established. However, they have the problem of over-complexity and lack of versatility by setting the preconditions for hot and cold cases and introducing a number of look-up tables. This study was conducted with the ultimate goal of developing new protocols based on complete real-time communication. Thermodynamic models were made and programs were developed for hydrogen refueling simulations. Simulation results confirmed that there are five parameters in the influencing factors of the hydrogen refueling protocol.

Hydrogen is attracting attention as an alternative energy source as an eco-friendly fuel without emitting environmental pollutants. In order to use hydrogen as an energy source, technologies such as hydrogen production and storage must be used, and new storage methods are being studied. In this study, the behavior of hydrogen in the storage tank were numerically studied under high-pressure hydrogen discharge conditions in a Type III hydrogen tank. Numerical results were compared with the experimental value and the results were quantitatively analyzed to verify the numerical implementation. With the results of pressure and temperature values under a given discharge condition, the Redich-Kwong gas model showed the adequate models with the smallest error between numerical and experimental results.

수소는 매우 낮은 밀도를 갖기 때문에 화석연료와 동일한 수준의 에너지량을 저장하기 위해서는 기존과 다른 저장방식이 요구된다. 수소의 밀도를 높이는 방법으로는 수소를 액화하여 저장하는 방법이 있다. 하지만, 수소의 액화온도는 -252 ℃의 극저온이기 때문에 외부 열 유입에 의해 쉽게 기화된다. 액체수소가 기화되면 탱크 내부의 압력이 증가되는 자가증압 현상을 발생하므로, 탱크 설계 시 이 상승하는 압력을 잘 예측해야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 극저온 액체수소 연료탱크의 액체수소 충전 비율에 따른 내부 압력을 예측하였다. 탱크 내부의 압력 상승을 예측하기 위하여 1차원 열역학적 모델을 적용하였다. 열전달 모델은 열 유입, 액체수소의 기화, 연료 배출에 현상이 고려되었다. 최종적으로 연료탱크 내의 액체수소의 충전 비율에 따라 압력 상승 거동과 최대 상승 압력에 큰 차이가 있음을 확인하였다.
