Summary

A THEORETICAL MODEL TO DETERMINE THE THERMAL AND FLUID FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF A THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM USING A PHASE-CHANGE MATERIAL HAS BEEN DEVELOPED. RESULTS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED FOR THE CASE WHERE THE PHASE-CHANGE MATERIAL IS SODIUM SULPHATE-WATER (GLAUBER'S SALT) AND THE HEAT TRANSFER FLUID IS WATER. THE VARIATION OF THE DIMENSIONLESS TEMPERATURES OF THE FLUID AND THE SOLID, AND THE MOLTEN FRACTION OF THE SOLID DURING THE PHASE CHANGE PROCESS, WITH DIMENSIONLESS TIME, FOR DIFFERENT VALUES OF BIOT NUMBER, STEFAN NUMBER, AND THE FLOW PARAMETER HAVE BEEN DETERMINED.
