Numerical Study on Heat Transfer and Enhancement Mechanism in PCM-Filled Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers
A numerical model was established using the enthalpy-porosity approach to study the heat transfer characteristics of a shell-and-tube phase change heat exchanger filled with paraffin wax RT50. The influence of exchanger placement forms, tube diameters and fin structures on the phase change process o...
