Constructal design of latent thermal energy storage with vertical spiral heaters

This paper reports a numerical and analytical study of time dependent storage of energy by melting a phase change material in a cylindrical tank. In the first part of the study the heater was a vertical spiral tube positioned coaxially with the tank. In the second part, the heater consisted of two c...
