Numerical investigation of the effects of natural convection on the melting process of phase change material in cylindrical annulus

Abstract

A numerical simulation of the melting process of a phase change material in a horizontal cylindrical annulus has been studied in this paper. Numerical study has been carried out for melting of paraffin wax as phase change material, considering the natural convective flow of melt using finite volume code Fluent. Constant wall temperature is applied to heat transfer fluid pipe. Presented two-dimensional Numerical analysis shows the movement of melting front in the cylindrical annulus for analyzing the thermal behaviour of the system.
