Analysis of melting and solidification processes in the phase-change device of an energy storage interconnected heat pump system

In this paper, an energy storage interconnected heat pump system is proposed. Numerical simulation is performed to investigate the melting and solidification processes of paraffin in a spherical heat storage unit. The influences of the spherical wall temperature, spherical heat storage unit size, an...
