THERMODYNAMICS OF HYDRIDE CHEMICAL HEAT-PUMP .2. HOW TO SELECT A PAIR OF ALLOYS

The discrepancy is large between the numerous hydrogen systems studied and proposed for potential energy applications and the small number found in the different prototypes. In this paper a way of selecting possible 'new' candidates by a simple model, mainly based on a classical thermodynamic analysis, is proposed, in which constraints deduced from the thermochemical properties of the systems as reported in the literature are introduced.
