Numerical investigation on latent thermal energy storage in shell and corrugated internal tube with PCM and metal foam

A numerical investigation on Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage System (LHTESS) based on an aluminum foam totally filled with phase change material (PCM) is accomplished. The PCM used is a pure paraffin wax with melting over a range of temperature and a high latent heat of fusion. The LHTESS geometr...
