Transient Heat Storage Characteristics on Horizontal Rectangular Enclosures Filled with Fluidity Slurry of Micro-encapsulated Phase-change-material Dispersed in Water

A two-dimensional numerical simulation of heat storage behavior by natural convection in rectangular enclosures heated from below has been conducted with fluidity slurry composed of micro-encapsulated fine phase-change-material (PCM) and water. Both heat storage and heat transfer characteristics wer...
