Summary
Energy shortages and environmental pollution are becoming increasingly serious due to global industrialization. Hydrogen is a promising alternative fuel that has the advantages of a wide variety of sources, cleanliness, and efficiency. Countries and regions all over the world, such as the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and China, have launched hydrogen development roadmaps to develop hydrogen energy industry. Hydrogen is used in various sectors, including vehicles, industrial, commercial, and residential. Hydrogen is also the key to utilizing intermittent renewable energy like wind power and solar energy. Complex heat and mass transfer processes are involved in hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and applications. Furthermore, advanced energy management strategies should also be used to minimize costs and environmental impacts while using hydrogen and other renewables. Hydrogen is a highly flammable gas, and safety is a significant concern in production, handling, and storage. Hydrogen safety studies include hydrogen leak and dispersion, fire and explosion, and boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE), in which significant heat and mass transfer issues are involved.
This Special Issue aims to report and disseminate the latest advances related to hydrogen energy, hydrogen safety, and heat and mass transfer in the hydrogen industry.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Heat and mass transfer in hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and application
• Heat and mass transfer for fuel cell systems
• Hydrogen policies and strategies
• Hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and infrastructure
• Energy systems design, analysis, and management
• Behaviors of gaseous and liquid hydrogen (LH2)
• Heat and mass transfer problems in hydrogen liquefication
• Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE)
• Risk assessment and safety management
• Regulations, codes and standards
• Proton exchange membrane fuel cell
