This paper presents is a two-dimensional mathematical model to optimize heat and mass transfer in metal hydride storage tanks (hereinafter MHST), equipped with lateral heat transfer by using a cooling fluid . This model which considers complex heat and mass transfer was numerically solved and validated by comparison with experimental data and a good agreement is obtained.This cooling can be obtained for example from fuel cell stacks that are cooling with water, so with this model we can manage heat in fuel cell and other devices.
