Numerical Study of Paraffin Melting in a Rectangular Latent Thermal Energy Storage Unit

摘要：

The present study explores numerically the process of melting of a phase-change material (PCM)in rectangular geometry.The numerical analysis has been carried out by using enthalpy-porosity method and the results are verified by the experimental data.The computational results show how the transient phase-change process is affected by the natural convection that plays a vital role during melting of PCM.
