Effective thermal conductivity for melting in PCM encapsulated in a sphere
Amin, N.A.M.; Bruno, F.; Belusko, M. - In: Applied Energy 122 (2014) C, pp. 280-287
Heat transfer in phase change materials (PCMs) contained in spherical encapsulations can be modelled more simply if an effective thermal conductivity can be determined to represent the natural convection occurring within the PCMs. Previous research has shown that natural convection in PCM can be...

Review of convection heat transfer and fluid flow in porous media with nanofluid
Mahdi, Raed Abed; Mohammed, H.A.; Munisamy, K.M.; … - In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 41 (2015) C, pp. 715-734
There are two advantages of using porous media. First, its dissipation area is greater than the conventional fins that enhances the heat convection. Second is the irregular motion of the fluid flow around the individual beads which mixes the fluid more effectively. Nanofluids result from the...
