Parametric studies on packed bed storage unit filled with PCM encapsulated spherical containers for low temperature solar air heating applications
TL;DR: In this article, a parametric analysis was carried out using the validated enthalpy based numerical model that considers the thermal gradient inside the phase change material (PCM) container, and the results of simulation analysis showed that the size of the PCM ball, fluid inlet temperature and the mass flow rate of the heat transfer fluid (HTF) influenced respectively heat transfer area in the packed bed, temperature difference between the HTF and PCM and the surface convective heat transfer coefficient between the HP fluid.
