I never was that brilliant at using the gas laws.

Any ideas (or calculations ideally!) how much energy would be needed to
compress stp hydrogen to the 350 or 700 bar figures mentioned here ?

I know it depends on temperature rise too, but even assuming it could be
achieved isothermally ? with high efficiency pumps just how much energy
would it take to compress say 1kg or 100kg (1 tonne) of H2 to 350/700
bar ?

Given the phase change additional to LH2, I shudder to think about that
one.

Graham

For adiabatic compression: W = (n/(n-1) * Po*Vo * [(P1/Po) ^ ((n-1)/n)) -
1].

Where, W = Work in J/kg; Po = initial pressure in N/M^2; P1 = final
pressure in N/M^2; Vo = initial specific volume in M^3/kg; n = ratio of
specific heats.

For H2, n = 1.41; Vo = 11.11 M^3/kg

To compress H2 to 800Bar, requires approx. 23 MJ/kg.

Have fun!
