Analysis of the heat transfer mechanisms during energy storage in a Phase Change Material filled vertical finned cylindrical unit for free cooling application

•Freezing behavior of a PCM, in a cylinder with annular longitudinal fins is presented.•Among various fin heights, 20mm fin contribute maximum heat transfer enhancement.•Addition of fins plays a contradictory role during the sensible cooling of liquid PCM.•The fin effect along with external cooling,...
