| description | It is believed that it is going to be a sizeable mismatch between supply and demand when it comes to renewable resources. Lately, researchers are on course to compensate for the unpredictabilityof such resources by the employment of phase change materials (PCMs). Having multiple advantages, PCMs generally suffer from inadequate thermal conductivity which causes prolonged transition procedures. To tackle this issue, this study is fixated on two parameterswhich are linked to fins addition and porous media incorporation in a melting process within a triple concentric tube heat exchanger (TCTHX). The results provided by multiple cases underlined the significance of natural convection in the bare system, although finned and copper-metal-foam cases outshine buoyancy forces by roughly 45% and 97%, respectively. Material is a major determent when it comes to the selection of porous media as Al2O3 registered the weakest performance among SiC, Ni and Cu, however, it managed to speed up the process by 75% which still is much higher than the finned system, implying that porous media is of higher priority over fins. The best scenario transpiredwhile fins and copper metal foam were integrated as 26% and 97% soars in efficacy have been obtained compared to individual incorporation of porous media and fins, respectively. |
