Abstract:In this work, thermal hysteresis of PCM inside different encapsulated configuration (circle, triangle and square) during melting and solidification processes are investigated numerically. Charging and discharging of a latent heat storage during unsteady complex phenomena was simulated numerically using finite element method. The results indicate that time elapsed was minimum for triangular encapsulated configuration and maximum time for circular encapsulated configuration for both melting and solidification pr… 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.
