Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to hydrogen technologies, which have been under a constant development for years and have been applied to many different branches of industry including electric power generation, energy storage, and transportation. Along the way, many advances have been made in the materials and designs of the infrastructure for hydrogen systems. At the same time, a number of challenges have arisen due to the very specific properties of hydrogen and many research centres around the world are addressing these challenges. Therefore, hydrogen research and application has emerged as a separate field of study.

This Special Issue aims to foster exchange of the results of research across different fields to create an overview of problems concerning hydrogen, as well as their solutions. A multidisciplinary approach is required in order to address all of the issues that add to the complexity of the hydrogen usage.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome and the topics covered may include, but are not restricted to:

  • Hydrogen storage and transportation;
  • Hydrogen for vehicles;
  • Machines and equipment for hydrogen delivery and processing;
  • Hydrogen generation from renewable energy sources;
  • Hydrogen in mixtures;
  • Risk analysis of hydrogen infrastructure;
  • Hydrogen applications’ impact on society;
  • Economic aspects of investment in hydrogen technologies;
  • Safety culture in hydrogen facilities.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

In the process of the on–board transportation of liquid hydrogen storage and transportation tanks, apart from considering the support strength and adiabatic performance, it is imperative to take into account the vibration characteristics of the carrying platform. The present work introduces a versatile support structure comprising a damping module and a ball contact insulation structure, enabling effective isolation of external vibrations while simultaneously providing support and insulation. The first step involves describing the principle of a flexible support structure and designing the mechanical structure. Subsequently, a damping analysis is conducted based on dynamic theory to establish the relationship between the spring and damping. Finally, the structural parameters of the dual–function strut are determined, followed by simulation of heat transfer performance. The results demonstrate that the dual–function strut exhibits exceptional vibration damping performance by reducing the amplitude of external vibrations greater than 5 Hz to less than 6%. Moreover, owing to the compact linear diameter spring structure of the vibration damping module and its ball contact effect, the thermal resistance of the dual–function strut is significantly enhanced, resulting in a mere heat leakage of only 22 W/m2 in a single rod section.
