Phase change materials (PCMs) are frequently and widely used in latent thermal energy storage (LTES) system and thermal management (TM) system due to their large latent heats and capabilities of maintaining nearly constant temperature. However, the performances of PCMs in LTES and TM systems are seriously limited by their low thermal conductivities and poor heat transfer performances, which consequently...
This paper is the second portion of a two-part study of the heat transfer characteristics of a shell-tube LTES (latent thermal energy storage) system. The three-dimensional model was used to investigate the discharging characteristics of the LTES system. Pure paraffin and paraffin/expanded graphite (EG) composite PCMs with 7 wt. % and 10 wt. % EG were used as the PCMs (phase change materials), and...
