Phase change materials (PCMs) having a large latent heat during solid-liquid phase transition are promising for thermal energy storage applications. However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.
By implementing fin arrangements on the inner wall of the heat storage module, a remarkable upsurge in the liquid phase-transition rate of the phase-change material is achieved in comparison to the design lacking fins—this improvement approximating around 30%.
The heat stored in the phase-change material is calculated using Equation (9): Qs=∫titmmCpsdt+mΔq+∫tmtfmCpldt (9) where ti, tm, and tfare the initial, final, and melting temperatures, respectively; mis the mass of the PCM; Cpsand Cplare the specific heats of the solid and liquid phases; and ∆qis the latent heat of phase transition. 2.4.
This effect is compounded by the fact that excessive fins complicate the design, disrupt the natural flow of the melted phase-change material, increase the nonproductive weight of the container, and reduce the overall efficiency of the box. All these factors contribute to increased operational costs.
