Numerical study of melting and heat transfer of PCM in a rectangular cavity with bilateral flow boundary conditions

The melting of phase change material (PCM) in a rectangular cavity with heat transfer fluids (HTFs) flowing at both sides from bottom up (bilateral flow boundary conditions) are numerically studied. A parametric study is performed by changing the Reynolds number (Re) of HTF in a range of 1 × 104, 3 ...
