ShareMathematical modelling of the thermal performance of a phase-change material (PCM) store: cooling cycle.
Author(s) : KURKLU A., WHELDON A., HADLEY P.
Type of article: Article
Summary
A mathematical model for the prediction of the thermal performances of a PCM store containing 1-m long and 38-mm diameter polypropylene tube has been developed in the study. Air was utilised in the store as the heat transfer fluid. The amount of energy used in increasing the temperature of the PCM at any time during the phase-change process is predicted to be about 3.5% of the total energy stored.
