Numerical study on n-octadecane PCM melting process inside a pear-shaped finned container

This work numerically explores the melting process of a nano-enhanced phase change material (NePCM) in thermal energy storage (TES) system. The TES unit is pear-shaped and filled with n-octadecane PCM loaded with Al2O3 nanoparticles and fitted with copper fins. The heat transport governing equations...
