Abstract |
|
An energy storage system challenges Phase Change material (PCM) to enhance the storage performance. Since most of PCMs stands to relatively low thermal conductivity, this in turn reduces the systems performance. In this study a compound metal foam/nano particles enhancement technique was used to improve the charging and discharging ability of the paraffin wax. The influence of open cell metal foam structure and nano particle volume fraction on the instantaneous evolution of the solid-liquid interfaces, distribution of temperature gradients in compound PCM were investigated. |
