The numerical simulation and experimental study of heat release in a heat storage system with various diameters of aluminum tubes
Phase change materials (PCMs) can be used to store solar energy. The heat released from PCMs is directly influenced by the efficiency of thermal energy storage and the scope of application. In this study, paraffin was used as the PCM, and was encapsulated in an aluminum tube. The temperature of the...
