ABSTRACT Thermal energy storage systems using PCM offer promising solutions for efficient thermal applications. This study aims to provide valuable insights into the melting process and compare performance of different heat exchanger models. The experimental rig is carefully designed simulate a shell tube with five longitudinal copper fins at specific conditions. Three distinct models exchanger, labeled Models A, B, C, were examined their transfer efficiency during process. Numerical simulations conducted three compared results. Model A represented benchmark model. It had uniform fin length, location, angle. B was modified design aimed enhancing progress. These modifications included longer lower fin, shorter side reference, angle optimize performance. C incorporates further modifications, top location. observations revealed significant differences in among average rates, measured up critical decline point, are crucial parameters practical comparison showed that surpassed rate point by 10% 4%, respectively, demonstrating its superior applicability.

ABSTRACT Incorporating a spinning mechanism into latent heat energy storage (LHES) unit can significantly influence its thermal behavior and overall efficiency. Inserting rotation introduces novel mechanisms that enhance transfer optimize the performance of LHES systems. The shell tube system are used as LHTES. Varying rotational speed has an important role in charging process, but there is inconsistency related to impact changing speeds on melting time. This study provides systematic comprehensive approach addressing discrepancies found previous research regarding relationship between It fills gap by conducting detailed analysis specific range (0.1–3 rpm). Additionally, it highlights gradual rotation, starting with negligible effect initial phases evolving crucial factor enhancing once certain liquid fraction reached—an aspect not previously explored literature. Seven main cases have been defined different choose best case would result shortest complete results indicated increasing from 0.1 1 rpm 3 shortened time 41% 47%, respectively. Also, positive starts at 0.51% fraction.

Latent thermal energy storage (LTES) is an important technology to mitigate the discrepancy between source and supply, it has great application prospects in many areas, such as solar utilization, geothermal utilization electricity storage. However, LTES systems suffer from low conductivity of most phase-change materials (PCMs), threatening their large-scale commercial applications. To tackle this challenge, heat transfer enhancement for critically been widely investigated worldwide. Convectional techniques, including fins, nanoparticles multiple PCMs, can significantly improve charging discharging rates system. Recently, rotation-based methods have emerged provide new routes systems, achievements obtained by researchers around world. This study conducted a short review mechanisms applications three methods, aiming deep insights into these novel propel future development
