Numerical investigation of the shell configuration effect on the melting of various phase change materials in the presence of porous medium and non‐Newtonian fluid
Abstract:By considering the ability of phase change materials (PCMs) in the storage of energy, the melting of four types PCMs including RT22, RT26, RT35, and RT41 in a heat exchanger is examined in this research. The impact of various shell cross‐sectional configurations on the complete melting time of materials, temperature changes, and liquid fraction throughout the melting process are presented. It is assumed that the main heat transfer fluid in the tube is non‐Newtonian and the tube is filled with a porous medium. … Show more
