Slosh induced forced convection enhances heat transfer in a partially filled PCM capsule
The melting heat transfer inside a capsule partially filled with phase change material (PCM) under reciprocating movement can be frequently encountered in novel energy storage devices such as fluidized bed or rotary drum. However, influence of liquid sloshing on the melting is rarely investigated. In this study, an experiment adopting image processing is established to visually study the transient melting of PCM when the capsule is reciprocating at different amplitudes and frequencies. n-Hexadecane is adopted as the PCM and volume filling ratios from 30 % to 90 % are covered. The solid PCM is fixed by a stick inside the capsule, thus forming constraint melting. Reciprocating movement of the capsule is realized through a crank-slider mechanism, with frequency in 0.7Hz-1.1 Hz and amplitude of 50 mm and 75 mm. The results show the slosh of the melted PCM inside a reciprocating capsule gets stronger with the increase of amplitude and frequency. The transient melting heat transfer coefficient (HTC) demonstrates a trend of first increase and then decrease with time, but both transient and averaged HTCs increase with reciprocating amplitude or frequency. The slosh of the melted PCM induces the liquid forced convection, boosting the heat transfer and this effect is suppressed by larger volume filling ratio. An empirical correlation to predict the enhancement is also fitted to assist the design of related energy storage device.
