description Latent heat thermal storage units span a wide and varied range of applications in the domestic, industrial and space based activities. Numerical investigations on the performance enhancement of a solar dynamic latent heat thermal storage (LHTS) unit employing multiple phase change materials (PCM) and fins are made. The LHTS unit has been studied for the charging mode alone. Enthalpy based formulation of the energy equations governing the behaviour of the LHTS system has been made and compared with the response of a single PCM unit. The governing conjugate equations have been solved employing finite difference techniques. The results show an appreciable enhancement in the rate of melting of PCM and nearly uniform exit temperature of heat transfer fluid (HTF) in the multiple PCM LHTS unit.
