Enhancing Molten Salt Melting in Tube Heat Exchanger through Segmented Fin Design for Thermal Energy Storage
Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems using phase change materials (PCMs) provide high energy density, but the low thermal conductivity of PCMs limits heat transfer and extends the melting time. A three-dimensional enthalpy-porosity numerical model is developed for a double-tube molten salt storage unit, w...
