Hydrogen Mixture Thermophysical Properties Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies the thermophysical properties of hydrogen and refrigerants and also works on hydrogen refueling technology.

AboutAbout the lab
Measuring the thermophysical properties of hydrogen and refrigerants
Prof. Sakoda's lab studies the thermophysical properties of high-pressure hydrogen, refrigerants, and fluid mixtures.
Focusing on low-GWP refrigerants, which have a low global warming potential (GWP), the lab measures pressure-density-temperature relationships, vapor pressure, and other properties.
The lab also investigates the thermophysical properties of high-pressure hydrogen and works on developing technology for refueling fuel cell vehicles with hydrogen.
Faculty members are affiliated with the Hydrogen Transport and Storage Division of the Sustainable Hydrogen Research Institute.
Key terms
- Thermophysical properties
- Heat-related properties of a substance, such as pressure-density-temperature relationships and vapor pressure
- Low-GWP refrigerant
- A refrigerant with a low global warming potential (GWP). The lower the value, the smaller its impact on global warming
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the thermophysical properties of hydrogen, refrigerants, and fluid mixtures. For high-pressure hydrogen, it also works on developing refueling technology for fuel cell vehicles.
