Abstract
The impacts of melting behaviour on the thermal performance of TT-TES and DT-TES systems employing cetyl alcohol and 3% v/v. MXene nanoenhanced PCM are compared and numerically evaluated in this work. For both the DT-TES and TT-TES systems, the following were investigated in connection to melting time: system efficiency, discharged energy, heat transfer rate, exergy destruction, entropy generation number, exergetic efficiency, melting fraction, and melting temperature contours. In addition, the effect of Stefan, Rayleigh, and Nusselt numbers on Fourier numbers are compared for the DT-TES and TT-TES systems with MXene NEPCM.
MXene-based nano-enhanced PCM melting in TT-TES displayed 6.53% more Stefan number than cetyl alcohol. Pure melting of MXene-based nano-enhanced PCM in a TT-TES had 4.16% higher storage exergy than cetyl alcohol. The entropy generation number of pure melting of MXene-based nano-enhanced PCM in TT-TES is 7.93% lower than that of cetyl alcohol. Pure cetyl alcohol has 76.99% optimal system efficiency at 5400 seconds melting time and MXene NEPCM 77.04% at 4800 seconds in DT-TES. The charging temperature for pure cetyl alcohol PCM in TT-TES is 0.7% lower than in DT-TES. Furthermore, pure melting of MXene-based nano-enhanced PCM in a TT-TES has 1.95% lower storage energy than cetyl alcohol. For a given volume of MXene-based nano-enhanced cetyl alcohol PCM, melting occurs more rapidly in a TT-TES system.
