Thermal conductivity enhancement of PCMs in annular tube heat storage: A review
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
This paper reviews previous work on thermal conductivity enhancement of phase change materials (PCMs) filled in cylindrical annulus. Two aspects have been covered under this review: PCM materials, thermal conductivity enhancement techniques. The present paper reviewed the different configuration of high conductivity inserts/structures to increase heat transfer during charging and discharging of heat storage system. Different forms of thermal conductivity promoters (matrix, fins,etc.) were suggested in previous studies. The reviewed research studies covered verity of the annular PCM storage units with heat transfer enhancement.
