Analysis of the heat transport mechanisms during melting around a horizontal circular cylinder

Thermal and melting heat transfer characteristics in a latent heat storage system using mikro

“…Fundamental studies are available in the literature on heat transfer during melting and solidification of phase change materials around cylinders [1][2][3] or encapsulated in cylindrical [4][5][6][7] and flat geometries [8][9][10][11]. The objective in most of these studies was to evaluate the temperature distribution inside the phase change material (PCM) and to locate the interface position with time during melting and solidification.…”

Numerical analysis of the heat transfer associated with freezing/solidifying phase changes for a pipeline filled with crude oil in soil saturated with water during pipeline shutdown in winter

“…They studied the effect of natural convection on the solidification process and concluded that it depends strongly on the Rayleigh number. In many subsequent studies conducted by Yao and Cherney (1981), Rieger et al (1982), Prusa and Yao (1984a), and Prusa and Yao (1984b), the influence of natural convection on the process of solidification around a horizontal cylinder has been taken into account.…”

Numerical simulation of a multi-layer latent heat thermal energy storage system

“…Fundamental studies are available in the literature on heat transfer during melting and solidification of phase change materials around cylinders (Rieger et al, 1982;Sasaguchi and Viskanta, 1989;Lacroix, 1993a) or encapsulated in cylindrical (Sparrow and Broadbent, 1982;Ho and Lin, 1986;Prasad and Sengupta, 1988;Wu and Lacroix, 1993) and rectangular cavities (Gadgil and Gobin 1984;Okada, 1984;Ho and Viskanta, 1984;Lacroix and Garon, 1992). The main objective in most of these studies was to evaluate the temperature distribution inside the PCM and to locate the interface position with time during melting and solidification.…”
