Simulation of energy storage system with phase change material (PCM)
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model was developed based on an enthalpy formulation and the effect of PCM thickness on temperature distribution in PCM and melting fraction was investigated, which showed that melting time change linearly with the amount of PM and lower thicknesses are suitable for a better PM performance.
