Numerical investigation of dynamic melting process in a thermal energy storage system using U-tube heat exchanger
A thermal energy storage system using U-tube heat exchanger is proposed and compared with the system using single-tube heat exchanger. Based on the enthalpy-porosity method, three-dimensional numerical models using computational fluid dynamics approach are developed to simulate the dynamic melting o...
