    Total Solidification Time of a Liquid Phase Change Material Enclosed in Cylindrical/Spherical Containers
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Bilir, Levent; İlken, Zafer
    This study investigates the inward solidification problem of a phase change material (PCM) encapsulated in a cylindrical/spherical container with a third kind of boundary condition. The governing dimensionless equations of the problem and boundary conditions are formulated and solved numerically by using enthalpy method with control volume approach. The problem is solved many times for different values of the affecting parameters and data sets are obtained for dimensionless total solidification time of the PCM. These data sets are then used to derive correlations which express the dimensionless total solidification time of the PCM in terms of Stefan Number, Biot Number and Superheat Parameter.

    Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Thermal Energy Storage With a Finned Tube
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2005) Erek, Aytunç; İlken, Zafer; Acar, Mehmet Ali
    A latent heat thermal energy storage system using a phase change material (PCM) is an efficient way of storing or releasing a large amount of heat during melting or solidification. It has been determined that the shell-and-tube type heat exchanger is the most promising device as a latent heat system that requires high efficiency for a minimum volume. In this type of heat exchanger, the PCM fills the annular shell space around the finned tube while the heat transfer fluid flows within the tube. One of the methods used for increasing the rate of energy sto rage is to increase the heat transfer surface area by employing finned surfaces. In this study, energy storage by phase change around a radially finned tube is investigated numerically and experimentally. The solution of the system consists of the solving governing equations for the heat transfer fluid (HTF), pipe wall and phase change material. Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effect of several fin parameters (fin spacing and fin diameter) and flow parameter (Re number and inlet temperature of HTF) and compare with experimental results. The effect of each variable on energy storage and amount of solidification are presented graphically.
