An effectiveness study of enhanced heat transfer in phase change materials (PCMs)
(2013-05)
A phase field model is for the first time employed to solve the phase change problem in a metal foam-embedded Latent Thermal Energy Storage (LTES) system. A phase field model deals with free boundary problems without tracing ...
A review of solar collectors and thermal energy storage in solar thermal applications
(2013-04)
Thermal applications are drawing increasing attention in the solar energy research field, due to their high performance in energy storage density and energy conversion efficiency. In these applications, solar collectors ...
Thermal and exergetic analysis of Metal Foam-enhanced Cascaded Thermal Energy Storage (MF-CTES)
(2013-03)
Metal Foam-enhanced Cascaded Thermal Energy Storage (MF-CTES) has been proposed to solve the problem of poor heat transfer during heat exchange process, which is caused by unavoidable decrease of temperature differences. ...
Phase Change Convective Heat Transfer in High Porosity Cellular Metal Foams (Chapter 9)
(Nova Science Publishers, 2013)
This Chapter discusses phase change convective heat transfer of high porosity cellular metal foams and their practical applications in thermal energy storage (TES). The following theoretical aspects are covered: volume-averaging ...
