Melting in a Rectangular Enclosure-Variational Approach

An experimental investigation of the melting process in a rectangular enclosure

An experimental investigation of the melting process in the vicinity of a heated vertical wall in a rectangular enclosure is presented in this work. A ̄at-plate heat pipe was used to provide a uniform temperature source. The liquid ̄ow patterns during the melting process were captured and the instantaneous marching of the liquid±solid interface was presented. In addition, the temperature distri...

Experimental Study of Melting and Solidification of Paraffin Wax with Dispersion of Al2O3 in Rectangular Enclosure

In this experimental based research work, the performance of Thermal Energy Storage System (TESS) during charging (melting) and discharging (solidification) processes were studied under varying conditions. The results from the CFD simulations for these conditions were published earlier. Here, the experimental results had been discussed. Paraffin wax concentration was varied to form the TESS. Al...

Cooling a hot obstacle in a rectangular enclosure by using a MHD nanofluid with variable properties

In this study, cooling of a hot obstacle in a rectangular cavity filled with water-CuO nanolfuid has been examined numerically. This cavity has an inlet and outlet and the cold nanofuid comes from the left side of the cavity and after cooling the hot obstacle, it goes out from the opposite site. All of the walls are insulated, and the SIMPLER algorithm has been employed for solving the governin...

Melting Heat Transfer Analysis on Magnetohydrodynamics Buoyancy Convection in an Enclosure: A Numerical Study

The roll of melting heat transfer on magnetohydrodynamic natural convection in a square enclosure with heating of bottom wall is examined numerically in this article. The dimensionless governing partial differential equations are transformed into vorticity and stream function formulation and then solved using the finite difference method (FDM). The effects of thermal Rayleigh number (Ra</em...
