Özet
In this numerical study, the melting and thermal energy storage performance of phase change material (PCM) integrated into flat-plate solar collector (FPSC) was investigated using dendritic fins with different dimple geometries (spherical, elliptical, trapezoidal), Fe3O4 nanoparticles at different volume concentrations (φ = 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 vol.%), and metal foam (MF). The low thermal conductivity of PCMs limits the performance of latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems by prolonging the phase change periods. Therefore, the study aims to optimize the thermal performance by combining the effects of MF, which increases the effective thermal conductivity of the system, dendritic fins that increase the heat transfer surface area, and nanoparticles that improve the thermophysical properties. Numerical computations were managed under the condition of constant heat flux of q" = 1000 W.m-2 using the enthalpy …
