Liquid hydrogen reactor design – conversion of ortho-para-hydrogen

R&D Focus Areas:
Liquid hydrogen

Lead Organisation:
The University of Western Australia

Funding:
Future Energy Exports CRC

Status:
Active

Start date:
March 2022

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.
