Abstract

In the current study, a combined conduction-convection model is developed to analyze the effect of natural convection inside the Phase Change Material (PCM) during melting and solidification processes of a cascade Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage System (LHTESS) and it is compared with pure conduction model. Effective heat capacity method is employed to simulate the phase change phenomena in both combined model and pure conduction models. Boussinesq approximation is used to predict the effect of natural convection inside the PCM in the combined model. The governing equations involved in the model are solved using finite element based simulation software, COMSOL Multiphysics 4.3a. Parametric study is conducted on charging and discharging processes of cascade LHTESS using both the models. The comparative study between combined model and pure conduction model demonstrated that the pure conduction model under predicts the rate of heat transfer between HTF and PCM at lower inlet velocity of HTF, where natural convection plays a significant role in the phase change phenomena. The deviation between the models decreases with increase in the inlet velocity of HTF for both charging and discharging processes. The simulation results indicated that the heat transfer phenomena inside the PCM become more conduction dominant at higher inlet velocity of HTF. The results also revealed that the inlet temperature of HTF plays a major role in decreasing the charging/ discharging time.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
