Experimental study of ortho-para hydrogen conversion at liquid nitrogen temperature

R&D Focus Areas:
Liquid hydrogen, Computational modelling

Lead Organisation:
University of Western Australia

Funding:
Future Energy Exports CRC (PhD Project)

Status:

Start date:
2022

Completion date:
2025

Project summary description:
The research project aims to develop kinetic models that describe the cryogenic ortho-para conversion process to design a cost-effective large-scale hydrogen liquefaction process. This requires the measurement of thermophysical and kinetic properties for the computation model, the development of this model as well as the design of an experimental apparatus to demonstrate and validate the results.
