| Description | Solid state hydrogen have several advantages as against compressed and liquid hydrogen storage. Metal hydrides can be used to store hydrogen, their uptake and release of hydrogen is exothermic and endothermic resp. As such design of canister/system to store metal hydride requires effective thermal management. The system design need to be optimized computationally and then fabricated for performance analysis. Later the integration of these systems with fuel cell requires component-level optimizations and knowledge. |

| Description | Mixing and segregation of particles during filling a column is relevant for a number of operations including co-firing of coal and biomass. Mixing and segregation of granular materials are also important in pharmaceutical industries. The objective of the project is to investigate the effect of interstitial air drag on mixing and segregation behaviour of granular materials while being poured in a bin. To that end, DEM simulations need to be performed using the open-source software MFIX. Mixing index will be determined as the final result. |
