Thermal management of shelter building walls by PCM macro-encapsulation in commercial hollow bricks

Masoud Izadi et al.

Summary: Incorporating phase change materials (PCMs) in building materials can significantly reduce energy consumption and maintain indoor temperature within comfort zone. This research evaluates the impact of incorporating three different PCMs from the Rubitherm (R) RT line (RT15, RT18, and RT22) in two widely used hollow brick types in Iran for keeping indoor environment warm in cold climate. Various configurations of PCMs are examined, including their melting temperatures in line with or against the thermal stratification of the bricks. The findings show that certain PCM-filled bricks can provide lower heat fluxes compared to hollow bricks for extended periods of time.

Parametric study of phase change time reduction in a shell-and-tube ice storage system with anchor-type fin design

Farhad Afsharpanah et al.

Summary: This paper introduces an innovative anchor-type longitudinal fin design that improves the phase change process in shell-and-tube ice storage units. The design has a more significant effect on the melting process and can greatly improve the melting time. By breaking the unwanted thermal stratification, it also diminishes the undesirable effects of natural convection.

Design of nanofluid-cooled heat sink using topology optimization

Bin Zhang et al.

Summary: This paper presented the topology optimization of 2D and 3D Nanofluid-Cooled Heat Sink (NCHS) and investigated the effects of energy dissipation constraints, temperature-dependent fluid properties, and nanofluid characteristics on optimal configurations. The study concluded that the branched flow channels in the optimal configuration increased with the rise of allowed energy dissipation, and that temperature-dependent fluid properties were significant for obtaining appropriate optimal results with the best cooling performance.

Topology optimization for heat transfer enhancement in latent heat storage

Q. Y. Yao et al.

Summary: In this paper, the flow channel layout in a latent heat storage unit was optimized through topology optimization with a focus on balancing heat transfer effects and flow resistance. Results showed that as heat transfer weighting increased, channel structures became more complex, leading to improved heat transfer performance at the expense of increased pressure drop.
