Numerical Simulation and Optimization of the Melting Process of Phase Change Material inside Horizontal Annulus
Latent heat storage (LHS) technologies adopting phase change materials (PCMs) are increasingly being used to bridge the spatiotemporal mismatch between energy production and demand, especially in industries like solar power, where strong cyclic fluctuations exist. The shell-and-tube configuration is among the most prevalent ones in LHS and thus draws special attention from researchers. This pap...
متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Investigation of Melting in a Cylinder
Well-controlled and well-characterized experimental measurements are obtained during the melting of a moderate-Prandtl-number material (n-eicosane) in a cylindrical enclosure heated from the side. The study aims to provide benchmark experimental measurements for validation of numerical codes. Experimental results in terms of measured temperatures and melt front locations are reported in both gr...
متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Study of Melting of Particle - Laden Materials in a Cylinder
The melting of a particle-laden slurry in a cylinder is investigated. The slurry consists of neutrally buoyant ceramic hollow spheres suspended in a paraffin wax. Melt front propagation and heat transfer processes during phase change in this particle-laden material is studied. The numerical analysis employs a particle-diffusive model and the enthalpy method. Experiments are carried out to valid...
متن کاملDevelopment of a novel method in TRMC for a Binary Gas Flow Inside a Rotating Cylinder
A new approach to calculate the axially symmetric binary gas flow is proposed Dalton’s law for partial pressures contributed by each species of a binary gas mixture (argon and helium) is incorporated into numerical simulation of rarefied axially symmetric flow inside a rotating cylinder using the time relaxed Monte-Carlo (TRMC) scheme and the direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) method. The res...
متن کاملNumerical study of natural convection in a horizontal cylinder filled with water-based alumina nanofluid
Natural heat convection of water-based alumina (Al2O3/water) nanofluids (with volume fraction 1% and 4%) in a horizontal cylinder is numerically investigated. The whole three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) procedure is performed in a completely open-source way. Blender, enGrid, OpenFOAM and ParaView are employed for geometry creation, mesh generation, case simulation and post pr...
