7."Cfd Modeling of Heat Charging Process in a Direct-Contact Container" by Arefeh Hesaraki
“CFD Modeling of Heat Charging Process in a Direct-Contact Container” Book Review: The focus of this book is on the heat charging process in a direct-contact container, which has gained importance due to the growing relevance of thermal energy storage and phase change materials in recent years. These materials offer a solution to time delays or mismatches between energy production and demand. Mobilized thermal energy storage has been developed to address the spatial differences between suppliers and end-users. To recycle waste and excess heat, PCM is used as a storage medium and heat transfer fluid is employed to transport it in a mobilized container to consumers. The book also covers the melting and solidification processes associated with this technology.
