Solidification enhancement with multiple PCMs, cascaded metal foam and nanoparticles in the shell-and-tube energy storage system
Jasim M. Mahdi,Hayder I. Mohammed,Emad Talib Hashim,Pouyan Talebizadehsardari,Emmanuel C. Nsofor +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal response of the shell-and-tube energy storage system consisting of multiple segments holding separate phase-change materials (PCMs) of different melting points was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple-segment metal foam application in the shell-and-tube PCM thermal energy storage system
TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach for heat transfer enhancement in PCM-based shell-and-tube thermal energy storage systems by employing multiple-segment or cascaded metal foam was described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase change heat transfer in a rectangular enclosure as a function of inclination and fin placement
TL;DR: In this article, the melting of phase change material (PCM) inside a rectangular enclosure, possibly finned and inclined, is studied numerically and the application of this work is related to the temperature control of a finned PV panel filled with PCM and installed at different tilt angles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical simulation of a finned-tube LHTES system: influence of the mushy zone constant on the phase change behaviour
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional axisymmetric numerical model of a double tube heat exchanger with finned surfaces was used as an experimental test case and the commercial paraffin RT35 was selected as phase change material (PCM).
Journal ArticleDOI
A numerical investigation of the effects of metal foam characteristics and heating/cooling conditions on the phase change kinetic of phase change materials embedded in metal foam
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical study is conducted on the effects of metal foam properties and heating/cooling conditions (cyclic heating and cooling) on the phase change kinetic of PCM embedded in metal foam.
