Evaluation of water and paraffin PCM as storage media for use in thermal energy storage applications: A numerical approach
Two different heat storage media, namely water and paraffin phase change material, are studied in order to evaluate and compare them for use in thermal energy storage systems. Using commercial computational fluid dynamics software, the charging process of the two materials is simulated and the resul...
