...Amaan Kunwar; Alankrita Singh Purpose This study aims to present a computational investigation of a hybrid battery thermal management system ( BTMS ) that combines phase change material ( PCM ) with liquid cooling for lithium-ion battery cells. Effective thermal regulation is crucial for ensuring...

...Hakan F. Oztop; Muhammed Gür; Fatih Selimefendigil; Hakan Coşanay Purpose The purpose of this study is to do a numerical analysis of the jet to a body filled with phase change material (PCM). The melting of the PCM filled body was investigated by the hot jet flow. Four different values...

...Ömer Akbal; Hakan F. Öztop; Nidal H. Abu-Hamdeh Purpose The purpose of this paper is to make a three-dimensional computational analysis of melting in corrugated pipe inserted system filled with phase change material (PCM). The system was heated from the inner pipe, and temperature of the outer...

...). In this study, a compound metal foam/phase change material (PCM), which has been proved to be one of the most promising approaches for thermal conductivity promotion on PCMs, was used. Design/methodology/approach The PCM is considered initially at its melting temperature. The enclosure for all the cases has...

...Huijin Xu; Yan Wang; Xingchao Han Purpose Phase change energy storage is an important solution for overcoming human energy crisis. This study aims to present an evaluation for the thermal performances of a phase change material (PCM) and a PCM–metal foam composite. Effects of pore size, pore...

... materials (PCM) and alternate cavities air-PCM is discussed. The last-mentioned showed a good ability for reducing the junction temperature during the melting time. Three cases of this configuration having the same total volume of PCM but a different number of cavities are compared. The case of ten fins...
