Manipulating the effects of dynamic flow properties on thermoclines using assemblies with porous and diffuser configurations

Thermal accumulators are used as energy-storing components in heat pumps and solar collectors and determine the extent to which solar collectors are viable.This paper introduces mechanical design solutions to managing flow dynamics and heat transport and analysing the formation of thermal stratifica...
