چکیده
A thermal response model for designing a hybrid thermal energy storage (TES) heat sink is developed. The stabilization time and maximum operating (hot side) temperature-totransition temperature difference are used to characterize the performance of the heat sink. The thermal properties of the PCM employed in the design are investigated. Integration of a design optimization algorithm into a thermal performance model of the TES-hybrid heat sink results in determination of a best design subject to geometric and heat loading constraints. A prototype based on this best design is build and used to benchmark the performance model. The performance measured is consistent with the simulation model predictions of performance. @DOI: 10.1115/1.1646419#

متن کاملMulti-Objective Optimization of Solar Thermal Energy Storage Using Hybrid of Particle Swarm Optimization and Multiple Crossover and Mutation Operator
Increasing of net energy storage (Q net) and discharge time of phase change material (t PCM), simultaneously, are important purpose in the design of solar systems. In the present paper, Multi-Objective (MO) based on hybrid of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and multiple crossover and mutation operator is used for Pareto based optimization of solar systems. The conflicting objectives are Q net...

متن کاملA Hybrid Thermal Energy Storage Device , Part 2 : Thermal Performance Figures of Merit
Two figures of merit for hybrid Thermal Energy Storage (TES) units are developed: the volumetric figure of merit, Ṽ, and the temperature control figure of merit, DT̃ . A dimensional analysis shows that these quantities are related to the performance specification of the storage unit and its physical design. A previously benchmarked semi-empirical finite volume model is used to study the characte...
