This book highlights physiological, physical, and chemical hazards associated with hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and use systems. It also examines potential accidental scenarios that hydrogen may yield under certain conditions. The authors highlight hydrogen storage facilities because of the greater hazards encountered in them due to the increased quantities stored and handled, and on hazards resulting from the use of hydrogen as a fuel for transport. Computer simulations with the aid of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of both gaseous and liquefied hydrogen are verified by experiments.
