Liquid Hydrogen Pooling and Vaporization Experiments
A comprehensive investigation into the pooling and vaporization of liquid hydrogen spills onto concrete and steel surfaces in a steady cross-wind is presented in this work. This is the first instance of liquid hydrogen pooling and dispersion in a steady environment. A high-capacity fan in a large tunnel was used to generate the steady cross-winds while spilling roughly 10-20, or 40 l/min of liquid hydrogen onto substrates. Temperature and extractive concentration measurements were made, in ad
