Experimental and Numerical Investigations on Melting Behavior of PCM in Storage Tank
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
The present work investigates the thermal performance of storage unit using phase change material by experimentally and numerically. Commercial grade stearic acid is used as phase change material (PCM) packed in two cylindrical copper tubes and water is used as heat transfer fluid (HTF). The instantaneous temperature variations of PCM at different layers along the axial direction of the tube are experimentally measured. The PCM temperature at various mass flow rates are measured by experimentally and compared with the numerical results. It is found that the results of the experiment are in good agreement with the numerical results.
