A half-analytical correlation of total melting time for shell-and-tube latent-heat thermal energy storage unit
Applied Thermal Engineering(2019)
Abstract
•Dimensionless total time is proposed for developing a unified correlation.•The effects of five dimensionless parameters on total time are discussed.•A half-analytical correlation of total melting/solidification time is built.•Double-tube latent-heat storage unit is used to verify this unified correlation.
