... during the day time. Hence, researchers have designed solar air heater with thermal energy storage as an integral part below the absorber plate [ 3 – 6 ] or a separate part [ 7 , 8 ]. Although, the design of solar air heaters with integral thermal energy storage (TES) part has gained much attention due...

...Masahiro Kawaji Complex macroscale and microscale heat and mass transfer phenomena are encountered in thermal energy storage and transport systems. Those systems involving ice slurries and nanoemulsions of phase change materials can be used for either cooling or heating applications or both, which...

... distributions in the bed and at the air outlet are sampled over a short time period. The convective heat transfer coefficient is determined using data from the convective heat transfer process in the bed where the analysis includes the partial differential equation that describes the transient energy storage...

... transfer and time-harmonics electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation. The maximum element size concept is introduced for the numerically sensitive subdomains where local mesh refining is needed because of the presence of intensified EM fields. The results show that the energy storage capability of a resonant...
