Numerical Study on the Thermal Performance of a Shell and Tube Phase Change Heat Storage Unit during Melting Process
This work presents a numerical study of the thermal performance in a shell and tube phase change heat storage unit. Paraffin wax as phase change material (PCM) is filled in the shell space. The heat transfer fluids (HTFs: air and water) flow through the tube and transfer the heat to PCM. A mathemati...
