Inserting rotation introduces novel mechanisms that can enhance heat transfer and optimize the overall performance of LHES systems. The shell and tube system are used as LHTES. Varying the rotational speed has an important role in the charging process, but there is an inconsistency related to the impact of changing the rotation speeds on melting time. This study provides a systematic and comprehensive approach to addressing the discrepancies found in previous research regarding the relationship between rotational speed and melting time. It fills the research gap by conducting a detailed analysis of a specific range of rotational speeds (0.1–3 rpm). Additionally, it highlights the gradual influence of rotation, starting with a negligible effect in the initial phases and evolving into a crucial factor in enhancing melting once a certain liquid fraction is reached—an aspect not previously explored in the literature. Seven main cases have been defined with different rotational speeds to choose the best case that would result in the shortest complete charging time. The results indicated that increasing the rotation speeds from 0.1 to 1 rpm and 3 rpm shortened the charging time by 41% and 47%, respectively. Also, it is found that the positive influence of rotation starts at 0.51% of liquid fraction.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":44939,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer","volume":"54 5","pages":"3001-3014"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to investigate the potential heat transfer enhancement by combining the influence of cavity inclination angle and twin fin orientation for an air-filled cavity. The SIMPLE algorithm is used to solve the governing conservation equations, which are discretized using the finite volume method. The thermal field and internal fluid flow are calculated for a range of Rayleigh numbers (10<sup>4</sup> ≤ Ra ≤ 5 × 10<sup>5</sup>), cavity inclination angle (0° ≤ φ ≤ 60°), fin orientation (−60° ≤ <i>γ<sub>a</sub></i> and <i>γ<sub>b</sub></i> ≤ 60°), and fin positions (0.375 ≤ <i>L<sub>a</sub></i> ≤ 0.75, 0.25 ≤ <i>L<sub>b</sub></i> ≤ 0.625). Outcomes indicate that increasing Rayleigh number leads to enhancement in the intensity of the internal fluid flow in the cavity. Furthermore, the heat transfer rate is enhanced by positively orienting fins for the optimal cavity inclination angle φ = 15°. Moreover, installing the plate fins on the upper part of the left hot sidewall improves the heat transfer characteristics. Combining fin orientation and cavity inclination shows potential heat transfer enhancement, which achieves its maximum for a cavity inclination φ = 15° and twin fins with positive orientations of <i>γ<sub>a</sub></i> = <i>γ<sub>b</sub></i> = 60°.

An uncertainty analysis was conducted to ensure the sensitivity and accuracy of the obtained results. For the investigation, three factors, airflow rate, desiccant flow rate, and desiccant concentration, with four input levels, were selected. Various combinations of these factors and levels used the Taguchi method to determine their effects on relative humidity difference, absorber heat load, coefficient of performance of the LDVC, and energy savings. Regression corrections for all responses were also determined. The performance of the LDVC was compared with that of a standalone VCR system under identical input conditions and cooling effects. Based on the TOPSIS results, the experimental outcomes achieved a reduction in specific humidity by 9.8 g/kg of dry air, an absorbed heat load of 1.23 kW, a COP of 2.23, and an energy saving of 49%. Compared to the standalone VCR system, the COP increased by 26%, with the dehumidifier sharing 49% of the latent heat load. Exergy analysis revealed that the compressor and absorber exhibited low exergy efficiency, highlighting the potential for performance improvement.
