A Comparative Study on the Performance of Single and Multi-Layer Encapsulated Phase Change Material Packed-Bed Thermocline Tanks

A Comparative Study on the Performance of Single and Multi-Layer Encapsulated Phase Change Material Packed-Bed Thermocline Tanks

This paper presents a numerical study that aims at investigating the effects of different parameters on the dynamic performance of single and multi-layer encapsulated phase material (PCM) thermocline tanks. A transient, one-dimensional, two-phase, concentric-dispersion model is formulated to evaluat...
