Effect of New Mesh Fins on the Heat Storage Performance of a Solar Phase Change Heat Accumulator

In view of the problems of slow heat storage process and uneven temperature distribution in the existing phase change heat accumulator, a new type of mesh fin heat accumulator was designed and developed which increased the contact area between the phase change material (PCM) and the fins, enhanced t...
