Mathematical Modeling on Thermal Energy Storage Systems

Abstract:

Mathematical representations of the encapsulated phase change material (PCM) within thermal energy storage (TES) models are investigated. Applying the Effectiveness - Number of Transfer Unit (ɛ-NTU) method, the performances of these TES are presented in terms of the effectiveness considering the impact of different variable parameters. The mathematical formulations summarized can be used for future research work with the suggestion to maximize the heat transfer within the storage. Thus the optimisation on the configuration of the encapsulation can be done through a parametric analysis.
