Title: Parametric Study on a Thermal Energy Storage Containing Single PCM Sphere
Abstract: Mathematical representation of the thermal energy storage (TES) containing an encapsulated phase change material (PCM) in Medium Density Polyethylene sphere is investigated. The model applied the Effectiveness - Number of Transfer Unit ( ɛ-NTU ) method. The performance of a TES is presented in terms of the phase change effectiveness. The mathematical formulation of the model discussed will be used in future research with the suggestion to maximize the heat transfer between the heat transfer fluid and the PCM.
