Abstract:The global demand of the heating and cooling applications gives a larger potential to study the thermal energy storage system. Phase change materials (PCM) that are used to charge, store, and discharge the heat energy are inferior in heat transfer characteristics. The properties of PCM can be improved by adding nanoparticles, changing the orientation of the enclosure or both. Two-dimensional transient numerical analysis on the effect of Grashoff number (5000, 13000, and 20000), nanoparticle type (Al2O3, CuO, a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
