• Design and Optimization of an Emergency Auto-thermal Burner for Liquid Hydrogen 

      Campari, Alessandro; Pio, Gianmaria; Ustolin, Federico; Paltrinieri, Nicola; Salzano, Ernesto (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The adoption of hydrogen has been largely indicated as a feasible solution to support society in achieving its ambitious targets for a low-carbon future. The increased knowledge in liquefaction techniques has encouraged ...
    • Fragments Generated during Liquid Hydrogen Tank Explosions 

      Collina, Giulia; Ustolin, Federico; Tincani, Gabriele; Giannini, Leonardo; Salzano, Ernesto; Cozzani, Valerio (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Liquid hydrogen (LH2) may be employed to transport large quantities of pure hydrogen or be stored onboard of ships, airplanes and trains fuelled by hydrogen, thanks to its high density compared to gaseous compressed hydrogen. ...
    • Modelling of Fireballs Generated after the Catastrophic Rupture of Hydrogen Tanks 

      Giannini, Leonardo; Tincani, Gabriele; Collina, Giulia; Salzano, Ernesto; Cozzani, Valerio; Ustolin, Federico (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
    • On the Mechanical Energy Involved in the Catastrophic Rupture of Liquid Hydrogen Tanks 

      Ustolin, Federico; Giannini, Leonardo; Pio, Gianmaria; Salzano, Ernesto; Paltrinieri, Nicola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Hydrogen can play a central role in the energy transition thanks to its unique properties. However, its low density is one of the main drawbacks. The liquefaction process can drastically increase its density up to virtually ...
