Numerical simulation of the melting of solid paraffin in a solar water heater and the effect of the number of fins and the height of the fins

Numerical simulation of the melting of solid paraffin in a solar water heater and the effect of the number of fins and the height of the fins

Numerous theoretical and experimental studies were conducted on thermal energy storage utilizing phase change materials (PCMs). This study employs paraffin with particular properties as the PCM in a square solar water heater. Paraffin's melting point (MP) is 55 °C, the flow is transient, and na...
