Is evaluated experimental and numerically the behaviur of AB5 hydrogen storage container supply hydrogen to different flow discharge of hydrogen. The hydrogen absorption reaction was simulated using a developed finite difference method. The heat transfer fins design was optimized for different absorption times and container diameters applying the gradient method. Was possible find the different contributions to the unloading curve at constant flow.  Numerical outcomes were then confirmed by comparison with experimental measurements, showing good agreement between the theoretical model and the experimental result.
