Description
This book presents a comprehensive study on Phase Change Materials (PCM) for efficient thermal energy storage. It investigates the heat transfer characteristics of PCM systems through comprehensive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis. Various geometric configurations were modeled and simulated to examine melting behavior, temperature distribution, and storage performance. The results were compared to identify the optimum geometry that enhances heat storage capacity, improves thermal efficiency, and ensures better overall system performance for practical engineering applications.
