A numerical analysis of Stefan problems for generalized multi-dimensional phase-change structures using the enthalpy transforming model

Analysis of the influence of operating conditions and geometric parameters on heat transfer in water-paraffin shell-and-tube latent thermal energy storage unit

“…Various numerical techniques have been developed for solving nonlinear phase change heat transfer with the moving solidliquid interface. Enthalpy formulation, in which energy conservation has been expressed in terms of total volumetric enthalpy, has been used in mathematical approaches by Voller et al [11], Hunter and Kuttler [12], Cao et al [13], Lee and Tzong [14] as well as Zivkovic and Fujii [15]. Bellecci and Conti [16][17][18] and Lacroix [4,5] studied numerically shell-and-tube type of latent heat storage system using enthalpy method and standard empirical correlations for calculating of convective heat transfer coefficients.…”

Numerical analysis of the optimum heating pipe to melt frozen urea-water-solution of a diesel urea-SCR system

“…Hale and Viskanta [10] and Gau and Viskanta [11] performed an experiment to examine the changes in the phase boundary layers, when thawing pure gallium in an unsteady state. Cerimele et al [12] studied the effects of natural convection by comparing the results of their experiment with those obtained by Gau and Viskanta [13].…”

Unconditionally Stable Fully Explicit Finite Difference Solution of Solidification Problems

“…There is extensive literature on the application of various versions of the enthalpy method for phase-change problems. [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] Discussion of the enthalpy method has been comprehensively covered by Voller and coworkers. [50,51,56,57] The temperature recovery, also known as the postiterative method, is probably the simplest one of all the techniques reviewed in this section.…”
