Experimental validation of an air-PCM storage unit comparing the effective heat capacity and enthalpy methods through CFD simulations

Two computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models were developed for the simulation of an air- thermal energy storage (TES) unit. The TES unit was experimentally tested with air flowing over horizontal metallic panels filled with phase change material (PCM). The commercial PCM was characterised by diffe...
