Phase-Field Simulation of Solidification With Density Change
Phase-field models of solidification with convection often assume the existence of a single (mixture) velocity at any location inside the diffuse interface, and the phase-field, φ, is advected by this mixture velocity. In this paper, the advection of the phase-field is examined for a one-dimensional normal flow to a solidification front induced by a density difference between the solid and liqu...
متن کاملExperimental Study on Solar Energy Storage Using Phase Change Materials in Spherical Shell Storage System
Storing of available energy for later use is a necessity in the present world, one such method is using Phase Change Materials (PCMs). PCMs need a heat transfer medium to transfer the energy from the source to the PCM. In this present work spherical balls are used to store the PCM and water is used as a heat transfer fluid. Paraffin wax (PW) and Palmitic acid (PA) and (4060% PW-PA) eutectic mix...
متن کاملConvective Cooling of an Extrudate
Convective heat transfer about an isothermal, cylindrical extrudate of constant diameter, issuing continuously from an extrusion die, is investigated numerically, using a commercial CFD software package. The hot extrudate is assumed to move vertically downward, thus giving rise to a combined regime of forced and free convection in the surrounding fluid. Prandtl number of 0.707, corresponding to...
متن کاملExperimental Studies of Phase Change and Microencapsulated Phase Change Materials in a Cold Storage/Transportation System with Solar Driven Cooling Cycle
The paper presents the different properties of phase change material (PCM) and Microencapsulated phase change material (MEPCM) employed to cold storage/transportation system with a solar-driven cooling cycle. Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) tests have been performed to analyze the materials enthalpy, melting temperature range, and temperature range of solidification. KD2 Pro is used to ...
متن کاملOff - Peak Cooling Using Phase Change Material
The electric utilities in the United States are faced with continued rapid growth in electrical demand. The traditional response to growth in demand has been the expansion of generating capacity. However , economic, environmental, and scheduling constraints will combine to make adequate expansion difficult, if not impossible, in the 1980's. This thesis examines load management as an alternative...
