Computational thermal analysis of a latent heat storage unit augmented with porous fins
Phase change material (PCM)-based thermal energy storage systems provide a large capacity to store energy; however, PCMs are impaired by relatively low thermal conductivity. Presently, the use of copper foam annular fins was numerically investigated in a PCM-based thermal storage unit. Six copper an...
