Optimal fin parameters used for enhancing the melting and solidification of phase-change material in a heat exchanger unite

A combination of fins-nanoparticle is essential for a wide range of technologies using to enhance the performance of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems. Major problem is that most Phase-Change Materials (PCMs) have low thermal conductivity (k ≤ 0.2 W/m K), resulting in an incomplete melting and so...
