Numerical study of free convection dominated melting in an isolated cavity heated by three protruding electronic components

As a first way to illustrate the disturbance effect and its spread downstream the disturbance area, time-series of temperature evolution at a measuring point M (located close to

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the heat stored in the phase change material (PCM) by calculating the convective heat flux along the inner surface of

(1997) studied numerically the fluid flow and heat transfer induced by natural convection in a finite horizontal channel containing an indefinite number of uniformly spaced

Liquid cavity grows and during the second stage, heat generated within heat sources is ab- sorbed by the melting front (latent heat of fusion storage) and there is no sensible

An experimental study of melting natural convection heat transfer in an enclosure with three discrete protruding heat sources at a constant rate attached on one of its vertical wall

The main purpose of the present study is to optimize the position of the external heat source (EHS) in a classical accumulator by numerical simulation of melting time of PCM

The effects of the Stefan number, the sub-cooling, and aspect ratio on the melting process were analyzed. It may be observed from the above discussion that a substan- tial amount
