The present study deals with melting in a geometry suitable for Latent-Heat Thermal Energy Storage (LHTES) systems, which are of importance future industrial installations utilizing solar energy or waste heat. intrinsically high thermal resistance phase-change materials (PCM) can be remedied by taking advantage close contact (CCM), where the solid phase is separated from hot surface only thin liquid layer. basic CCM takes place on horizontal flat surface, but during last decade its...
Abstract One of the main challenges for latent thermal energy storage (LTES) systems is low heat transfer rates due to conductivity most phase change materials (PCM). Close-contact melting (CCM) can accelerate times in LTES but current numerical techniques solid liquid have difficulties with accurately predicting this process. In study, close-contact PCM on an inclined surface simulated using enthalpy-porosity method ANSYS Fluent. All properties, including density, are temperature-dependent....
Latent thermal energy storage (LTES) heat exchangers can improve a wide range of systems, especially in regard to an increasingly intermittent supply.For each these applications, LTES need be designed and sized.Designing exchanger is equivalent predicting the outlet temperature transfer fluid as function inlet mass flow rate for given geometry.Design methods systems are limited sizing which predict averaged or using full scale CFD calculations computationally expensive.A less intensive...
