Design and Analysis of Liquid Hydrogen Technologies: Liquefaction, Storage and Distribution offers readers a comprehensive guide to the development, analysis, design, and assessment methodologies for liquid hydrogen. From the fundamentals to the latest developments and current applications, the book provides an extensive and systematic discussion of the design, simulation, and techno-economic analysis methodologies supported by practical examples, verified codes, and innovative process designs. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the liquid hydrogen economy, followed by detailed advanced thermoeconomic, exergoeconomic, optimization, and dynamic simulation models that are essential for the assessment of the current and future LH2 technologies. The authors then identify current technological challenges and propose innovative solutions for LH2 technologies, with a focus on the liquefaction plants and storage facilities. In-depth analyses are provided of the reliability, safety, and environmental impacts of the different stages of the LH2 supply, transportation, regasification, and distribution. To improve the economic feasibility of LH2 plants, recent advanced energy-integrated systems are discussed. Potential market applications are considered, and detailed techno-economic assessments are provided. Finally, the book critically evaluates the future directions and prospective development of liquid hydrogen technologies, regulations, safety standards, and new markets for liquid hydrogen applications. Bringing together the latest information, Design and Analysis of Liquid Hydrogen Technologies: Liquefaction, Storage and Distribution provides a valuable resource for students, researchers, scientists, and engineers working in the hydrogen economy or involved in the processing, design, manufacturing, quality control, reliability, safety, systems, and testing of cryogenic refrigeration and liquid hydrogen production, storage, and transportation. Describes, in detail, the current operational and conceptual hydrogen liquefaction, storage, transportation, regasification, and distribution technologiesOffers comprehensive analytical tools, decision-making tools, and practical examples for the advanced modeling and simulation of liquid hydrogen plantsProvides techno-economic, reliability, safety, and environmental impact analysis of liquid hydrogen technologies, along with future prospects
