RISNumerical Investigation of Charging and Discharging Processes of a Shell and Tube Nano-Enhanced Latent Thermal Storage Unit
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Phase change materials (PCMs) generally suffer from low thermal conductivity which limits their application in thermal systems. The effective thermal conductivity may be improved by including fins, metallic powders, fine ...
Effect of Fin Orientation on Melting Process in Horizontal Double Pipe Thermal Energy Storage Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Immersion of fins in latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems has been used as an influential approach to remedy the poor thermal conductivity of phase-change materials (PCMs). This paper numerically investigates ...
