2D Conduction Simulation of a PCM Storage Coupled with a Heat Pump in a Ventilation System

Efforts to simulate heat transfer in a PCM (Phase Change Material) storage device are generally led by considerations of Biot number and material thickness, of 2D versus 1D representation, and of possible hysteresis effects arising from the characterisation of the PCM using differential scanning cal...
