Numerical Methods in Engineering

Definision :

Numerical methods are widely used in engineering to solve complex mathematical problems and simulate real-world phenomena.

Case study of this week :

1- Liter hydrogen storage optimization project.

The discustions:

1. (x+1)(x-1)/(x-1) = 2, if we do subtitution, in mathematics, division by zero is undefined. It is not possible to divide any number by zero and obtain a meaningful result. If you attempt to divide 1 by 0 in a mathematical operation or calculator, you would typically encounter an error or an undefined result. But, if we do elimination, we get the answer is 2. So, in this case we must be have a change between undifined or 2.

2. Consciousness relevant to this case? The definition of Conscious Mathematic is an approach or philosophy in mathematic that consolidated with conciousness concept, consideration, and observation by human. So, in my opinion, this case is relevant with consciousness. Because, we can approach an exact number that in this case is 2.

3. We need "Tafakur" to grasp this case. "Tafakur" means thinking, reflection, and contemplation to grasp this live."Tafakur" gives us to aware with philosophy. So, if we have a change between 2 choise, we need "Tafakur" to get a best choise.

Conclusion: The case in number 1, (x+1)(x-1)/(x-1) = 2, is my choise answer. I conscious and use "Tafakur" to get this answer. Not only in this case, but also in a problem of live we need both of them (conscious and "tafakur").

How to design this Hydrogen Storage?

To design and optimize a pressurized hydrogen storage system with a volume of 1 liter, several factors need to be considered, including pressure, material selection, safety, and efficiency. Here are some steps to help you with the design process:

Determine the target pressure: The pressure at which you want to store hydrogen will depend on your specific application. Higher pressures generally allow for more hydrogen storage, but they also require stronger and more expensive materials. Determine the appropriate pressure range based on your requirements.

Select a suitable material: The choice of material for the storage vessel is critical to ensure safety, weight, and cost considerations. Common materials used for hydrogen storage include carbon fiber composites, metal hydrides, and high-strength metals like aluminum or steel. Consider the material's strength, weight, compatibility with hydrogen, and cost when making your selection.

Design the storage vessel: Determine the dimensions and shape of the storage vessel to achieve a volume of 1 liter. Consider factors such as the internal pressure, material thickness, and any necessary reinforcements to ensure structural integrity. It's important to consult with a qualified engineer or expert in pressure vessel design to ensure compliance with relevant safety standards and regulations.

Optimize the storage system: To optimize the storage system, consider the following factors:

a. Heat management: Hydrogen storage can generate heat during filling and discharging processes. Implement effective heat management techniques, such as incorporating heat exchangers or cooling systems, to enhance the overall efficiency and safety of the system.

b. Insulation: Insulate the storage vessel to minimize heat transfer and improve the system's overall efficiency. Select appropriate insulation materials to reduce the energy losses associated with hydrogen storage.

c. Safety features: Incorporate safety features into the design, such as pressure relief valves and rupture discs, to prevent overpressure situations and ensure the system can handle unexpected pressure spikes.

d. Leakage prevention: Hydrogen has small molecular size, and leakage can be a concern. Ensure proper sealing mechanisms and regularly check for leaks to maintain system integrity.

e. System weight: Consider the weight of the storage system, especially if portability is a requirement. Optimize the design and material selection to achieve a balance between weight and other performance factors.

f. Testing and validation: Once the design is complete, perform thorough testing and validation to ensure the system meets safety and performance requirements. This may involve pressure testing, leak detection, and compliance with applicable standards and regulations.

Remember, hydrogen storage systems can be complex, and it's crucial to consult with experts in the field to ensure the design and optimization process is carried out safely and effectively.

Final Report Design & Optimization of Pressurized Hydrogen Storage (07/06/23)

To optimize hydrogen storage for 1 liter at a pressure of 8 bar, we need to consider various factors such as the type of storage material, design considerations, and cost constraints. Here's a simplified example of how you could approach the optimization process:

Step 1: Define the optimization goal In this case, let's assume that the optimization goal is to maximize the hydrogen storage capacity while keeping the cost within Rp 500,000.

Step 2: Research storage materials and designs There are several options for hydrogen storage, including compressed gas cylinders, metal hydrides, and carbon-based materials. Research each option to determine their capacity, compatibility with high pressure, and cost.

Step 3: Calculation the storage To optimize hydrogen storage for 1 liter at a pressure of 8 bar within a cost of Rp 500,000, you can use Python and apply a brute-force approach to evaluate different storage options. Here's an example code that demonstrates the optimization process:

# Define storage options and their characteristics
storage_options = [
    {"name": "Compressed Gas Cylinder", "capacity_liters": 10, "pressure_bar": 200, "cost_rp": 100000},
    {"name": "Metal Hydride", "capacity_liters": 5, "pressure_bar": 100, "cost_rp": 150000},
    {"name": "Carbon-Based Material", "capacity_liters": 15, "pressure_bar": 150, "cost_rp": 200000},
    # Add more storage options as needed
]

# Define optimization parameters
target_capacity_liters = 1
target_pressure_bar = 8
max_cost_rp = 500000

# Initialize variables to track the best option found
best_option = None
best_option_score = 0

# Iterate over storage options
for option in storage_options:
    # Check if the option meets the target pressure and capacity requirements
    if option["capacity_liters"] >= target_capacity_liters and option["pressure_bar"] >= target_pressure_bar:
        # Calculate the cost per liter
        cost_per_liter = option["cost_rp"] / option["capacity_liters"]

        # Check if the option's cost per liter is within the budget and update the best option if necessary
        if cost_per_liter <= max_cost_rp and option["capacity_liters"] > best_option_score:
            best_option = option
            best_option_score = option["capacity_liters"]

# Print the best option found
if best_option is not None:
    print("Best Option:")
    print("Name:", best_option["name"])
    print("Capacity (liters):", best_option["capacity_liters"])
    print("Pressure (bar):", best_option["pressure_bar"])
    print("Cost (Rp):", best_option["cost_rp"])
else:
    print("No suitable options found within the given constraints.")

Step 4: Select the most cost-effective option Choose the storage option that provides the highest hydrogen storage capacity within the cost constraint of Rp 500,000. This will depend on the specific cost and capacity values you find during your research.

Step 5: Optimize further if necessary If the chosen option is within the cost constraint but does not maximize the hydrogen storage capacity, you can consider optimizing other factors. For example, you could explore ways to increase the pressure or volume of the storage system without exceeding the cost constraint.

Step 6: Verify safety and feasibility Ensure that the chosen storage option is safe, feasible, and complies with relevant regulations and standards. This is crucial to prevent any potential hazards associated with hydrogen storage.
