Synergic effect of mechanical oscillation and metal foam on energy storage of PCM-concentrated photovoltaic modules: Numerical study
This research explores the combined effect of mechanical oscillation and metal foam on the thermal energy storage of a concentrated photovoltaic cell with a phase change material (PCM) enclosure. Various parameters such as foam porosity (85 %, 90 %, 95 %), oscillation frequency (5, 10, 20 Hz), and amplitude (0.5, 1, 1.5 mm) were studied for their impact on liquid fraction, temperature, and vorticity. The study found that PCM melts faster with mechanical oscillation due to increased circulation flow. Horizontal oscillation proved more effective than vertical, significantly reducing the complete melting time for PCM and PCM-foam mixtures, especially at 85 % porosity. As a result, the complete melting time of the PCM, PCM-foam porosity of 85 %, 90 % and 95 % under horizontal oscillation is 18.8 %, 45.7 %, 38.9 % and 35.3 % lower than the one in identical cases under vertical oscillation. Higher oscillation frequency and amplitude further reduced melting time by 22 % and 17 % respectively through generating larger vortices and enhancing convective heat transfer.
