Numerical study on the thermal energy storage employing phase change material with honeycomb structure: The effect of heat transfer fluid configuration and honeycomb cell angles
Abstract:Considerable literature has studied different techniques to improve the thermal performance of latent heat thermal energy systems (LHTES) that utilize phase change materials (PCMs). This study aims to contribute to this growing area of research by using honeycomb structure and exploring the effect of heat transfer fluid (HTF) configuration and honeycomb cell angle on the thermal performance of the LHTES during melting and solidification processes. In this work, five cases were designed: case (a) was regarded a… 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.
