Abstract:Summary
For the sake of enhancing the heat storage tank performance, the thermal characteristics and structural improvement of a water tank equipped with phase change material (PCM) were explored in this paper. The influence of PCM on the performance of the tank under conditions was experimentally analyzed, and the optimal working condition is determined by comparing the difference in effective heat storage rate under different inlet flow rates and the temperature of the water. The concept of “heat transfer bl… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
