Özet
One of the methods used to improve the low performance caused by the low thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCMs) in latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems is to subject the system to geometric modification. In this context, numerical analysis of different geometric variations (for shell: circular, hexagonal, and triangle; for tube: triangle, hexagonal, and elliptical) were carried out in LHTES systems obtained from conventional multi-tube heat exchangers with circular shell and tube geometries (C-Circle). The geometries were defined as organic RT35HC PCM and aluminum metal foam (MF) with porosity and pore density of ε = 0.90 and ω = 20 PPI, respectively. The governing equations were solved by the Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model, and the enthalpy-porosity approximation was used during the melting process of the PCM. In addition, hybrid nano PCM (HyNPCM) with φ = 2.0 …
