Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal performance augmentation in latent heat storage unit using spiral fin: An experimental analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive experimental analysis is reported to evaluate the heat transfer augmentation in vertical shell and tube Latent Heat Storage Unit (LHSU) with installation of spiral fins Influence of spiral fin on charging and discharging rate is evaluated PCM and HTF used in the existing experimental test setup.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat transfer intensification in horizontal shell and tube latent heat storage unit
TL;DR: In this paper, a latent heat storage unit (LHSU) utilizing phase change material (PCM) in a substantial scale is constrained by the poor thermal conductivity of PCMs.

Book ChapterDOI
Investigations on Thermal Performance of Spiral Finned Latent Heat Storage Unit
TL;DR: Sharma et al. as mentioned in this paper improved the heat transfer of shell-and tube-type latent heat storage unit (LHSU) using spiral fins, which reduced total melting time by 63.37% and 80.30% for horizontal and vertical LHSU, respectively.
