Thermophysical Properties

The thermophysical properties of hydrogen must be understood and managed to construct a hydrogen society, and this plays a role of knowledge information infrastructure. The Department of Thermophysical Properties precisely measures thermophysical properties (PVT characteristics, coefficient of viscosity, thermal conductivity, etc.) of hydrogen at pressures of up to 100MPa, creates equations of state and correlation equation, and develops and provides a hydrogen property database. Targeting all hydrogen stations, we are also developing HRS (Hydrogen Refueling Station) Dynamic Simulation software to calculate the temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc. of hydrogen running through devices from a compressor to an FCV on-vehicle container. We endeavor to contribute to the verification of how to refuel hydrogen safely and more efficiently in hydrogen stations.
