Summary

The direct contact melting of a porous material was investigated experimentally and analytically. The phase-change material (PCM) is made of fine ice particles of a nearly uniform diameter, which is changed as a parameter. In the analysis, two models were proposed. One was calculated as the direct contact melting of a monolithic sample and the other was treated as an assembly of the direct contact melting of the individual particles. The relationship between particle diameters and heat flux is investigated.
