Melting of Nanoprticle-Enhanced Phase Change Material inside Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

Melting of Nanoprticle-Enhanced Phase Change Material inside Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

This paper presents a numerical study of melting of Nanoprticle-Enhanced phase change material (NEPCM) inside a shell and tube heat exchanger using RT50 and copper particles as base material and nanoparticle, respectively. In this study, the effects of nanoparticles dispersion (, 0.03, and 0.05) on...
