Hydrogen, characteristic temperature specific heat

Procedure of creation of the heat machine based on periodic circulation of hydrogen and increase in the efficiency its operation demands the detailed information on methods of calculation equilibrium P-C-T (pressure - concentration - temperature) of characteristics, thermodynamic, thermalphysic (factors of specific heat conductivity X and heat transfers a depending on temperature and pressure) and kinetic properties of hydrides. Approach to designing HHP as to an individual kind of HHM can be broken on three part [1] ... 

Duration of a cycle of HHP operation is defined as time required for reaction hydrogenation/dehydrogenation in pair hydride system. This time determines heat capacity of HHP. Duration of a cycle depends on kinetics of hydrogenation reactions, a heat transfer between the heated up and cooling environment, heat conductivities of hydride beds. Rates of reactions are proportional to a difference of dynamic pressure of hydrogen in sorbers of HHP and to constants of chemical reaction of hydrogenation. The relation of dynamic pressure is adjusted by characteristics of a heat emission in beds of metal hydride particles (the heat emission of a hydride bed depends on its effective specific heat conductivity) and connected to total factor of a heat transfer of system a sorber-heat exchanger. The modified constant of speed, as function of temperature in isobaric process [1], can characterize kinetics of sorption reactions. In HHP it is not sense to use hydrides with a low kinetics of reactions. The basic condition of an acceptability of hydride for HHP is a condition of forward rate of chemical reactions in relation to rate of a heat transmission.
