Journal ArticleDOI
Improved PCM melting in a thermal energy storage system of double-pipe helical-coil tube
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a double-pipe helical-coiled tube as an innovative well-performing phase change material (PCM) containment design for latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical study and experimental validation of the effects of orientation and configuration on melting in a latent heat thermal storage unit
Mustafa S. Mahdi,Ahmed F. Hasan,Hameed B. Mahood,Alasdair N. Campbell,Anees A. Khadom,Abdul Mun’em A. Karim,Adel O. Sharif +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the melting behavior of paraffin wax in shell and tube latent heat thermal storage unit (LHSU) in different configurations and orientations was explored. And the results indicated that the addition of finned tubes enhanced the melting process by an average of 50%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical investigation on the effect of fin design on the melting of phase change material in a horizontal shell and tube thermal energy storage
Hameed B. Mahood,Mustafa S. Mahdi,Alireza Abbassi Monjezi,Anees A. Khadom,Alasdair N. Campbell +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal performance during the melting process for phase change material (RT-50) in a horizontal LHTS unit was studied numerically with a view to optimizing the fin configuration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation of the thermal performance of a helical coil latent heat thermal energy storage for solar energy applications
Mustafa S. Mahdi,Hameed B. Mahood,Anees A. Khadom,Alasdair N. Campbell,Mohanad Hasan,Adel O. Sharif +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a Latent Heat helical coil thermal energy storage (LHTS) was investigated experimentally for both phases; melting and solidification processes, where Paraffin wax (type P56-58) and tap water were used as a Phase Change Material (PCM), and a Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF), respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical study on the effect of the location of the phase change material in a concentric double pipe latent heat thermal energy storage unit
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between the phase change material (PCM) mounted in the annulus (case A) and the inner tube (case B) was conducted numerically, to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of each case with regard to the melting and solidification performance.
