Study on the melting and solidification performance and uniformity of rotating mechanism-enhanced triplex-tube latent heat thermal energy storage system
To solve the problem of refractory zone produced by different heat transfer methods in the energy charging and discharging process, and to improve the thermal efficiency and heat transfer uniformity of the triple tube latent heat energy storage(T-LHTES) system, this paper innovatively proposes a rotating system and introduces the arc-shaped fins to strengthen the heat transfer for the first time. Through numerical simulation, the melting and solidification characteristics, heat transfer efficiency, and heat transfer uniformity of the straight fin system at different rotational speeds are investigated by using the rotating reference system method. Compared with the non-rotating structure, the system's charging and discharging time is shortened by 73.46 % and 62.09 %, respectively, at a rotational speed of 0.1 rpm, and the efficiency is increased by 1.55 times and 1.59 times, respectively, and the thermal uniformity is significantly improved with the increase of rotational speed. The use of 15° arc-shaped fins combined with an asymmetric rotation strategy (charging at 0.1 rpm/ discharging at −0.1 rpm) further reduced charging/de-heating time by 5.63 % vs. 2.51 % and increased efficiency by 4.74 % vs. 2.73 %. This study provides new ideas for the design of actively enhanced T-LHTES systems.
期刊介绍:
International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer serves as a world forum for the rapid dissemination of new ideas, new measurement techniques, preliminary findings of ongoing investigations, discussions, and criticisms in the field of heat and mass transfer. Two types of manuscript will be considered for publication: communications (short reports of new work or discussions of work which has already been published) and summaries (abstracts of reports, theses or manuscripts which are too long for publication in full). Together with its companion publication, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, with which it shares the same Board of Editors, this journal is read by research workers and engineers throughout the world.
