Study of effects of constructed fins on melting of PCM in helical coil heat exchanger

The PCM melting process using a helical coil heat exchanger with a plain tube, longitudinal fins, and constructed fins is investigated. Water serves as the heat transfer fluid and paraffin wax as the PCM. A numerical simulation by Ansys Fluent software is conducted to study the liquid fraction and t...
