The low thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCMs) has limited their widespread use in practical applications. In the present study, different fin structures, namely, rectangular, perforated, and pin were examined to analyze performance melting process rectangular latent heat storage tanks. Experiments performed at both horizontal vertical orientations evaluate effectiveness configurations. Visual observation evolution time intervals was enabled through a transparent plexiglass shell. Instantaneous transfer rate energy measured using thermocouple readings photographs. results show that maximum coefficient between heated wall PCM is obtained by pin-finned tank followed perforated rectangular-finned This behavior justified intensification upward convection flows voids provided fins or fins. Although structure lowest convective coefficient, its slightly higher than other structures due larger area. At temperature 70℃, configuration are respectively 25% 4% less those fin. It reveals provides most effective area compared counterparts which have significantly volume. addition, it found regardless configuration, formation more vortical flow within molten PCM. unfinned finned tanks implying orientation should be well-chosen minimize along with adding various
