What’s the most appropriate equation of state for modeling pure hydrogen?

This article by Senior Simulation Consultant Garry Hanmer for World Pipelines discusses pure hydrogen and the important of accurately modeling hydrogen pipelines.

With a focus on pure hydrogen pipelines, this article features a case study examining the implementation of a real-time system for simulating pure hydrogen pipelines to demonstrate the model tuning process and the selection of appropriate equations of state. The article covers the following areas:

  • Hydrogen transportation
  • Hydrogen embrittlement risks
  • Case study: pure hydrogen pipeline
  • The model tuning process
  • The most appropriate equation of state out of GERG, AGA8, Peng Robinson and Benedict Webb Rubin Starling
  • Equations of state in the context of a real pure hydrogen pipeline
  • The undeniable importance of pure hydrogen modeling
