Resumo: | Latent energy storage systems find applications in many engineering fields, including industrial refrigeration plants, air conditioning installations, recovery of heat in industrial processes, etc. To tackle the design of such systems, it is necessary to have correlations to account for the heat transfer during the melting and solidification of the phase change material (PCM). This work describes and analyzes the results obtained from the numerical simulation of pure water melting and solidification in the interior of tubes, which are typically present in ice banks of air conditioning systems. The shown results consider natural convection, accounting for the inversion in the water density. In the melting process, the considered initial conditions followed the classical Stefan and Neumann approach. The presented simulation results include the evolution of the phase change interface, and of the temperature, density and streamlines fields. Correlations for the Nusselt number and for the melted material volume as functions of time have been proposed. |
