Thermodynamics of phase-change energy storage: the effects of liquid superheating during melting, and irreversibility during solidification.

Author(s) : LUCIA M. de, BEJAN A.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper considers the question of whether the optimum phase-change temperature for maximum exergy storage is universally equal to the geometric mean of the heat source and environment temperature. The conduction-melting process, the conduction-solidification process and the complete cycle of melting (storage) followed by solidification (retrieval).
