Title: Numerical Analysis on Solid-Liquid Phase Change Heat Transfer Process between PCM and FCPCM
Abstract: Due to enthalpy-porosity technique, mathematical models of phase change material (PCM) and foam composite phase change material (FCPCM) in two-dimensional rectangular canister were established in the conditions of gravity and natural convection. It solved phase change problems by the enthalpy method coming from computational fluid dynamics. The numerical results show good agreement with reference findings. The numerical comparison between PCM and FCPCM verifies that metal foam can not only enhance the thermal conductivity of the PCMs but also improve the thermal performance of the heat storage system.
