Orientation effect of arc array horizontal tubes inside a phase change storage unit on melting and solidification characteristics

This numerical study examines the phase change material melting and solidification characteristics that are filled inside the shell of different multiple-tube arc array storage units. For all studied cases, the heat transfer surface area and the PCM quantities are kept constant. The melting and soli...
