A numerical study on the effects of nanoparticles and stair fins on performance improvement of phase change thermal energy storages

M. E. Nakhchi et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of CuO nanoparticles and stair fins on improving the efficiency of latent heat thermal energy storage units. The results show that by adding nanoparticles and using descending stair fins, the energy storage capacity can be greatly enhanced compared to pure PCM. Additionally, the downward fins with larger stair ratios perform significantly better due to free convection effects and recirculation flows.

Optimal design of the phase change material based thermal energy storage systems: Efficacy of fins and/or nanoparticles for performance enhancement

Kedumese U. Mekrisuh et al.

Summary: Phase change materials (PCM) play a crucial role in thermal energy storage (TES) systems as storage materials. Different enhancement techniques such as fins, nanoparticles, and hybrid methods are utilized to improve the thermal performance of TES systems. The study demonstrates that optimizing geometric parameters can significantly enhance the thermal performance of TES systems compared to relying solely on enhancement techniques.
