Numerical investigation of heat transfer and melting process in a PCM capsule: Effects of inner tube position and Stefan number

The present paper presents a 2D-symmetric numerical study within a new-suggested configuration of a PCM's capsule aimed to investigate the heat distribution and the melting time under the effect of different factors including the position of the inner-tube and its temperature wall that is prese...
