Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) devices aid in efficient utilization of alternate systems and improve their ability to handle supply–demand fluctuations. A numerical analysis melting performance a shell-and-tube LHTES unit the presence direct current (DC) electric field has been performed. The governing equations fluid flow, transfer, potential charge conservation are solved using customized finite-volume solver built open-source framework OpenFOAM. Enthalpy-porosity method based fixed grid approach is used track melt interface. Primary objective study highlight interface flow morphology evolution induced evaluate unit. transient process mapped terms total liquid fraction, kinetic density mean Nusselt number. injection from tube surface generates multiple electrohydrodynamic (EHD) vortices region. Thus, inherent uni-cellular structure natural convection driven disrupted. multi-cellular with stronger velocity distribution enhances mixing transfer. Melting at various levels applied voltages (0≤V≤10kV) both vertical horizontal orientations quantified charging time power storage. gets shorter higher increasing voltages. In orientation, maximum 82.52% reduction 80.85% increase net achieved. weaker buoyancy force leads influence field. 89.61% 88.35% achieved orientation. results this understanding mechanism EHD assisted provide reference for design improved performance.

A plate heat exchanger (PHE) is a modern, effective type of transfer equipment capable increasing recuperation and energy efficiency. For PHEs, enhanced methods intensification can be further applied using the analysis knowledge already available in literature. review main developments construction exploration PHEs presented this paper with an modifications, such as plate-and-frame, brazed welded PHEs. The differences between these modifications their influences on thermal hydraulic performance are discussed. Most modern have plates inclined corrugations surface that create strong, rigid multiple contact points plates. PHE mostly experimental studies and/or CFD modelling. corrugation parameters influencing inclination angle relation to flow direction aspect ratio. Optimisation one way enhance performance. Other enhancement, including improving form corrugations, use nanofluids active methods, considered. Future research directions proposed, fundamental understanding, developing new shapes optimisation area cost estimations.
