TL;DR: An approach for intensifying the thermal response of phase-change materials (PCMs) in the shell-and-tube containment system via applying fin-assisted foam strips was proposed in this paper , which was successfully tested and verified by comparing the enhanced melting and solidification rates between four different enhancement additives within the same volume limitations.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the impact of modifying the fin geometric characteristics and distribution patterns in various spatial zones of the heat exchanger, and found that changing the fin dimensions with the heat flow direction results in a faster charging rate, a higher storage rate, and a more uniform temperature distribution when compared to a uniform fin size.

TL;DR: In this paper , a numerical analysis is accomplished aiming to investigate the effects of adding a new design fins arrangement to a vertical triplex tube latent heat storage system during the melting mechanism and evaluate the natural convection effect using Ansys Fluent software.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple linear regression (MLR) models was employed to predict the heat of combustion, and the gross and net heat values, of a diesel fuel engine, based on the chemical composition of the diesel fuel.
