Abstract:Purpose
The purpose of this study is to do a numerical analysis of the jet to a body filled with phase change material (PCM). The melting of the PCM filled body was investigated by the hot jet flow. Four different values of the Reynolds number were taken, ranging from 5 × 103 = Re = 12.5 103. Water, Al2O3 1%, Al2O3 2% and hybrid nanofluid (HNF; Al2O3–Ag mixture) were used as fluid types and the effects of fluid type on melting were investigated. At 60 °C, the jet stream was impinged on the PCM filled body at d… Show more
