..., and nanoparticles. The objective of this study is to investigate the thermal performance of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) dispersed in small quantities in 1-tetradecanol (C 14 H 30 O) PCM. This nano-enhanced PCM (NPCM) is placed in the annular space of a shell and tube in a solar thermal storage unit. The numerical...

... for different falling film modes. It has been noticed that the rate of ice formation decreases with time as ice accumulates on the test tubes. The overall heat transfer coefficient decreases as more ice accumulates on the test tubes. freezing falling film ice formation thermal storage Cold...

... operating conditions in which thermal storage can be taken advantage of, the ice water heat sink can provide electricity usage cost savings of 10% or more over using a VCC alone. An ice water heat sink for a PRL has potential advantages over being coupled to a VCC, particularly for a laboratory experimental...

... requirements due to higher viscosity through microchannels or enhancement of boiling heat transfer coefficients in a thermosyphon. However, there have been seemingly few investigations of nanofluids as a PCM for thermal storage, for which repeated cycles between solid and liquid states are necessary. Stability...
