Enhancing the thermal performance of PCM in a shell and tube latent heat energy storage system by utilizing innovative fins
2021
Energy Reports
The main obstacle of the PCMs which restricts their usage for thermal energy storage (TES) applications is their poor thermal conductivity. Utilizing metal fins is the most popular solution to enhance the performance of PCM-TES. In this work, PCM thermal performance enhancement in a shell and tube heat exchanger (STHX) was numerically investigated. Tee shaped fins is suggested as an innovative fin shape to accelerate the PCM melting process in the STHX. The tee fin was compared with the
