Numerical and Experimental Heat Transfer Characterisation of Paraffin Wax Material with Different Heated Tube Arrangements

The aim of this study is to obtain the heat transfer characteristics of the heated tube inline and staggered arranged immersed in the thermal energy storage material (paraffin wax) as phase change material (PCM). The information about thermo-physical properties of phase change thermal storage ma...
