Performance characterization of an integrated microscale hydrogen combustor recuperator and oil heat exchanger

Creator:

Haley, David B. (David Brien)

Abstract:

Experiments on a novel, microscale hydrogen combustor heat exchanger (µCHX) are presented in this thesis. The µCHX has been designed to efficiently transfer thermal energy to a heat transfer fluid for use in desorption of hydrogen from a metal hydride storage system of a hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle. The experimental...
