THEMACS Ingénierie will present a Workshop on the thermophysical properties of materials
The storage of liquid hydrogen represents a major technical challenge, requiring an in-depth understanding of the thermophysical properties of materials at extremely low temperatures, often close to -250°C. Hydrogen, as an energy-dense gas, is seen as a promising energy carrier for a sustainable future, particularly for the transition to cleaner energy sources. However, to fully exploit its potential, efficient and safe storage solutions are essential.
At cryogenic temperatures, the physical characteristics of materials can change radically, influencing their performance and reliability. For example, mechanical properties such as strength and ductility are crucial to ensuring the structural integrity of storage tanks, while thermal properties such as thermal conductivity and heat capacity affect insulation requirements and energy losses in the form of heat.
