Comparison of numerical and experimental assessment of a latent heat energy storage module for a high-temperature phase-change material

Ramos Archibold, Antonio; Bhardwaj, Abhinav; Rahman, Muhammad M.; Goswami, D. Yogi; Stefanakos, Elias L. (ASME, 2016-06-14)

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the heat transfer during the melting process of a high-temperature (> 800 degrees C) phase-change material (PCM) encapsulated in a vertical cylindrical container. The energy ...
The effects of radiative heat transfer during the melting process of a high temperature phase change material confined in a spherical shell

Ramos Archibold, Antonio; Rahman, Muhammad M.; Goswami, D. Yogi; Stefanakos, Elias K. (Elsevier Ltd., 2015-01-15)

The influence of radiation heat transfer during the phase change process of a storage material has been numerically analyzed in this study. Emphasis has been placed on the thermal characterization of a single constituent ...
