Thermal performance evaluation of latent heat storage systems with plate fin-metal foam hybrid structure

The thermal performance of phase change materials (PCM) embedded with fins and metal foam is investigated. Plate fins are attached to the enclosure, and metal foam is embedded between adjacent fins to enhance heat transfer. To predict the melting behavior, a numerical model is established based on t...
