Simulation and testing of cryogenic ortho-para conversion in hydrogen liquefaction processes
R&D Focus Areas:
Liquid hydrogen
Lead Organisation:
The University of Western Australia
Funding:
Future Energy Exports CRC
Status:
Active
Start date:
November 2022
Project summary description:
This project aims to develop a tool to model ortho-para (OP) hydrogen conversion, and a simulation block within Aspen HYSYS that incorporates the effect of OP conversion. A facility to test catalysed OP conversion will also be constructed, along with a system for dynamic measurements of OP conversion kinetics.
