Computational Fluid Dynamics of Roof Top using PCM for Efficient Thermal Management

Abstract

This paper presents a simulated parametric study to investigate the thermal management of the roof panel using phase change materials (PCM). The warmth engrossing and expelling ability of PCM is utilized to regulate the warmth produced in the room. A single and double layer of the PCM was kept between the roof and concrete. The energy saving level has noted on particular time without PCM materials, the same method as performed with single layer PCM and double layer PCM. Along these lines, it's exceedingly important to improve the warm presentation, so as to accomplish the objective of vitality sparing. So the Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is perhaps the most ideal approaches to improve thermal execution of building. The major classifications of the heat energy storage are practical and dormant. This paper is focused on one point such as PCM materials with to reduce the heat generated inside the room. CFD is seen as a superior substitute in present day ventures and has the capacity of taking care of such difficult issues. From the assistance of CFD, relative examinations are produced to consider the accompanying cases, for example, Case 1: Concrete piece with rooftop top section off without PCM. Case 2: Concrete slab with roof top slab off with single layer PCM. Case 3: Concrete slab with roof top slab off with Double layer PCM. The relative temperature design inside the room is utilized to comprehend the warm solace in the room and the upsides of utilizing PCM.
