Improving the performance of finned latent heat thermal storage devices using a Cartesian grid solver and machine-learning optimization techniques
The high energy density and stable temperature fields of latent heat thermal storage devices (LHTSD) make them promising in a range of applications, including solar energy storage, solar cooking, home heating and cooling, and thermal buffering. The chief engineering challenge in building an effectiv...
