摘要: Latent heat thermal storage units span a wide and varied range of applications in the domestic, industrial space based activities. Numerical investigations on performance enhancement solar dynamic latent (LHTS) unit employing multiple phase change materials (PCM) fins are made. The LHTS has been studied for charging mode alone. Enthalpy formulation energy equations governing behaviour system made compared with response single PCM unit. conjugate have solved finite difference techniques. results show an appreciable rate melting nearly uniform exit temperature transfer fluid (HTF)
