... in metal foam. The battery is further cooled through convective liquid flow facilitated by various tube arrangements. The model is implemented using the finite volume method. Various cases are simulated considering two different PCM’S namely RT25HC and RT 35 embedded with metal foam of two different pore...

... Abstract The ongoing European energy crisis and the imperative to reduce carbon emissions have driven the exploration of energy storage systems. This research focuses on latent heat thermal energy storage systems (LTES). LTESs, utilizing phase change materials (PCMs) combined with metal foams...

... capacity wall employs PCM and metal foam. To identify the most efficient thermal performance, four configurations of the absorbing capacity wall — which serves as a latent thermal energy storage — are studied. The numerical study uses a transient assessment of a two-dimensional airflow model...

... the relative performance behavior of uncompressed foams vis-a-vis compressed metal foams. Moreover, a critical issue of the appropriate definition of the hydraulic diameter, especially with foams of different ppi and different compressions, is addressed. Instead of the usual characterization as the square root...

... Abstract A numerical investigation on Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage System (LHTESS), based on a phase change material (PCM) partially filled with metal foam, is accomplished. The geometry of the system is a vertical shell and tube LHTES made with two concentric aluminum tubes...

... the local thermal equilibrium for the metal foam, are solved with the finite volume method using the commercial code Ansys-Fluent. Different cases are simulated for different thicknesses of the thermal control system and external convective heat transfer coefficient. The results are given in terms...

... 10 07 2009 Experiments on natural convection in superposed metal foam and water layers are reported. The heat transfer system comprises a vertical cavity heated from below and held at constant temperature at the top. Two systems are considered: a water-filled cavity with a foam layer...

... of a cubic equation that has only one acceptable solution. From the cubic lattice model, a one-dimensional heat conduction analytical model is used to find the effective thermal conductivity of fully saturated metal foam. A three-dimensional finite element calculation of the effective thermal conductivity...
