Abstract

Heat transfer phenomena of solidification process of the phase change material within cylindrical can is studied experimentally. N-Eicosane paraffin wax is used for phase change material and its melting temperature is 309.8 K. In order to achieve higher heat transfer rate of latent heat storage apparatus, fins in made of copper are used in the cylindrical can. If there are fins in cylindrical can, we can know that the inward latent heat energy in paraffin can be effectively transfered to cooling water than if finless.
