Experimental study on melting/solidification characteristics of a paraffin as PCM
TL;DR: In this article, the melting and solidification processes of paraffin as a phase change material (PCM) in a tube in shell heat exchanger system were investigated. But the authors focused on the possibility of the heat transfer enhancement in the heat storage geometry, which is achieved by tilting the outer surface of the storage container.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal energy storage performance of paraffin in a novel tube-in-shell system
TL;DR: In this paper, a tube-in-shell thermal energy storage system with three kinds of paraffin with different melting temperatures is analyzed experimentally, and the effects of the Reynolds number and the Stefan number on the melting and solidification behaviors are determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of eccentricity on melting behavior of paraffin in a horizontal tube-in-shell storage unit: An experimental study
TL;DR: In this article, the melting behavior of paraffin in a horizontal shell-and-tube type-storage unit is experimentally studied and three different values for the eccentricity from the center of the outer shell are investigated: e ǫ = 10, 20 and 30 mm besides the concentric geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental study on the drying kinetics of quince
TL;DR: In this article, the drying kinetics of quince slices were investigated as a function of drying conditions, and the experimental data were fitted to some models (namely Henderson and Pabis, Lewis and two-term exponential models) available in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the effect of eccentricity of a horizontal tube-in-shell storage unit on solidification of a PCM
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the eccentricity from the center of the outer shell of a horizontal shell-and-tube type-storage system to understand the solidification behavior based on the transient temperature fields inside PCM.
