Numerical Simulation on the Influence of the Longitudinal Fins on the Enhancement of a Shell-and-Tube Ice Storage Device

The theoretical model of the solidification process of a shell-and-tube ice storage (STIS) device with longitudinal fins is established. The liquid fraction, the energy-discharging rate and the ice storage ratio are investigated, with particular focus on the effects of the fin structure parameters o...
