  In this paper, a 3 Dimensional dynamic model of a perforated rectangular
metal hydride tank is presented. The metal hydride tank consists of powder
LaNi5 and the tubes are organized in the geometry of the rectangular in order
to simulate the flux of the ambient air through the reactor, which affect
hardly both the hydriding and the dehydriding reaction. A simulating study is
made by solving simultaneously the energy, mass and momentum differential
equations of conservation by using Comsol Multiphysics (version 4.2) software.
The simulation results show great agreement with the experimental data.
