Abstract
The objective of this study is to enhance the rate of solidification of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in Latent Thermal Energy Storage Systems (LTESSs) by incorporating hybrid nanoparticles (MoS2-Fe3O4) and utilizing a unique optimized antenna-shaped fin configuration in a triplex-tube energy storage device. The problem was solved by applying the Finite Element Method (FEM), considering some numerical analysis. For studying the effects of a variety of angles and dimensions of antenna-shaped fins with a radiation parameter during the process of solidification, a computational model validated by historical experimental data is developed. This paper will present an analysis of the effect of different angles and dimensions of antenna-shaped fins in conjunction with the radiation parameter during the solidification process. Results show that the full solidification time (FTS) decreases by 51 % when Rd = 1 compared to zero radiation, indicating a significant improvement in the efficiency of the solidification process. Furthermore, at 4000 s, the average temperatures for Rd = 0 and Rd = 1 differ, showing a noticeable drop of 4.51°. Furthermore, using Taguchi and Response Surface Methodology (RSM), the optimal settings were determined to minimize the full solidification time in the triplex-tube LHESS. Interestingly, a highly accurate and precise correlation for FST was established.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Thermal Engineering and related Short Communications. It provides an essential compendium of case studies for researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal engineering and others who are interested in aspects of thermal engineering cases that could affect other engineering processes. The journal not only publishes new and novel case studies, but also provides a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic thermal engineering problems. The scope of the journal includes case studies of thermal engineering problems in components, devices and systems using existing experimental and numerical techniques in the areas of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, medical, thermal management for electronics, heat exchangers, regeneration, solar thermal energy, thermal storage, building energy conservation, and power generation. Case studies of thermal problems in other areas will also be considered.
