Thermal characteristics of conical heat storage tank filled by metal foam: Optimization by response surface analysis
The heat storage efficiency of heat storage tank is a challenge to optimize the utilization of solar energy. Therefore, improving the efficiency of heat storage tank has become the main research focus. In this study, the conical tank design optimized for natural convection and the metal foam addition enhanced for thermal conduction are combined. However, there are some mutual constraints between two optimization methods. Therefore, the single factor analysis coupled response surface optimization method was used in this study to optimize the conical heat storage tank filled with metal foam. Firstly, the influence and optimization interval of each factor are discussed through single factor analysis. Then, the comprehensive influence of three factors is analyzed by response surface method. Finally, the heat storage characteristics, natural convection characteristics, melting fraction and temperature uniformity of the optimized model were evaluated. The results show that the optimized heat storage tank has stronger natural convection intensity and stronger melting heat storage performance than three comparative heat storage tanks.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
