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...

A comparative study of the CFD modeling of a ventilated active façade including phase change materials

Diarce, G.; Campos-Celador, Á.; Martin, K.; Urresti, A.; … - In: Applied Energy 126 (2014) C, pp. 307-317

This article describes the development of a CFD 2D model of a new type of ventilated active façade which includes a PCM (Phase Change Material) in its outer layer. The model was carried out using the software Fluent. The numerical results were compared against experimental data obtained by...
