Numerical investigation of a PCM-based heat sink with internal fins
TL;DR: In this paper, the process of phase change material (PCM) melting in a heat storage unit with internal fins open to air at its top is explored numerically, and the results show how the transient phase change process, expressed in terms of the volume melt fraction of the PCM, depends on the thermal and geometrical parameters of the system, which relate to the temperature difference between the base and the mean melting temperature, and to the thickness and height of the fins.
