AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE SOLAR FLOOR HEATING SYSTEM WITH WATER HEAT-STORAGE FLOOR

Experimental Investigation on a Combined Sensible and Latent Heat Storage Unit Integrated with Solar Water Heating System

Renewable energy supplies are steadily gaining increasing importance in all the countries. In particular, solar energy, being non-polluting, clean and inexhaustible, has received wide attention among scientists and engineers. Though there are many advantages, an important factor is that solar energy is time dependent energy source with an intermittent character. Hence some form of thermal energ...

Experimental Studies on Phase Change Material-Based Thermal Energy Storage System for Solar Water Heating Applications

Abundantly available solar energy utilization for domestic and industrial applications is hindered because of its intermittent nature. The thermal energy storage (TES) system using both sensible and latent heat has many advantages like large heat storage capacity in a unit volume and its isothermal behavior during the charging and discharging processes. Because of these advantages, in recent ye...

Numerical Study of Heat Transfer and Aerosol Deposition in a Room Environment with Under-floor or Baseboard Heating Systems

In this study, heat transfer and aerosol deposition in the under-floor and baseboard heating systems have been investigated, numerically. The aim of this study is a comparison between these heating systems. This comparison obtains the optimal heating system with low suspended particles in the air. Computational fluid dynamic with Eulerian-Lagrangian method has been used to simulate fluid and pa...
