Application of the Transient Hot-Wire Technique for Measurement of Effective Thermal Conductivity of Catalyzed Sodium Alanate for Hydrogen Storage

Sodium alanate, or the Na-Al-H system, has been the focus of intense research over the past decade due to its ability to hold almost 5 wt% of hydrogen. In this research, the effective thermal conductivity, k, of a sample of titanium-doped sodium alanate is studied over a range of operating conditio...
