Dispersion and behavior of hydrogen for the safety design of hydrogen production plant attached with nuclear power plant

Development of nuclear energy and hydrogen energy both as renewable energy open up a vast range of prospects. The scheme for hydrogen generation station in nuclear power plant has been carried out in china. However, Nuclear Energy is expected to encourage a safety culture that prevents serious accidents while dispersion of hydrogen from a container produces a risk of combustion. The dispersion and behavior of hydrogen production plant attached with nuclear power plant are still poorly understood. In this paper, a dispersion of hydrogen model is established and is calculated under two typical condition with corrected ideal gas state equation. The flammability of hydrogen after dispersion is studied. The range of flammability of dispersion of hydrogen production plant with different pressures, positions and temperatures is obtained. This work could contribute to the marginal hydrogen safety design for hydrogen production station and lay the foundation for the establishment of a safe distance standard that it's necessary to prevent hydrogen explosion.
