A Study on Heat Transfer with Phase Change of N - Octadecane

N - Octadecane의 상변화 열전달현상에 관한 연구

Experimental and numerical analysis were performed to investigate the heat transfer phenomena during phase change. N-octadecane were used as a phase change material and TRUMP computer code was used as a numerical tool. Also, two quarter segment of cylinder shape was chosen as a vessel to simulate to this research. The major contribution factor on the solidus surface movement was environmental temperature and the effect of roller gap and material initial temperature were insignificant. Experimental and numerical results were generally in good agreement and the effect of the mesh size ($22{\times}22$ and $33{\times}33$) was negligible.
