Numerical Analysis of Heat Storge and Dischange Characteristics with PCM Capsules

Simple model was develped for analyzing the thermal performance of thermal energy storage systems using phase change material capsules.Adopts enthaply method to simulated calculation of one-dimensional the phase change process in the heat storge units region,get the chart of the heat stored and releasing performance of the one dimensional model with phase change material capsules and the curve of the temperature changing of phase change material in difference place.It can be uesd for designing and analyzing the thermal performance of thermal energy storage systems using phase change material capsules,which lays the foundation of the applicating in the air-conditioning.
