Performance enhancement of a horizontal latent thermal energy storage unit with elliptical fins
Applied Thermal Engineering(2023)
Abstract
•The elliptical fin is proposed to improve the thermal storage performance of LTES unit.•The melting and solidification time are reduced by 13.7%-51.6% and 15.5%-24.8%.•The mechanism of enhanced thermal energy storage is analyzed by the entransy theory.
