Examination of the effects of porosity upon intensification of thermal storage of PCMs in a shell-and-tube type system
This study examined the heat characteristics of a vertical shell-tube thermal storage system with phase change materials. A three-dimensional finite volume method involving an interface mesh was employed to reduce the computational time. The regime of the heat transfer flow was laminar based on the...
