The current work introduces a hybrid enhancement approach that incorporates rotation and partially filled metal foam, aiming to achieve a balance between the cost and thermal performance of the latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) system. Based on the user-defined functions and enthalpy-porosity method, the effects of the filling position, the number of porous fins, and rotational speed on the melting process are numerically examined. Besides, the response surface methodology (RSM) and economic evaluation index are introduced to optimize the filling ratios at different positions and comprehensively compare the thermal performance and system cost. The results indicate that the structure with metal foam arranged simultaneously near the inner tube, outer shell, and radial positions achieves the best thermal performance, effectively shortening the melting time by 54.65 %. At a rotational speed of 0.50 RPM, five porous fins are identified as the optimal choice. Compared to the basic case, the optimal structure determined by RSM achieves a 73.02 % reduction in melting time and a 276.22 % increase in thermal energy storage rate (TESR). Additionally, it has better economic feasibility and heat transfer enhancement per unit mass of metal foam. The hybrid enhancement measures proposed in this paper can enhance the thermal performance of latent heat thermal energy storage unit (LHTESU) at a low cost, which is conducive to the realization of efficient and low-carbon clean production.
The latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) technology based on solid-liquid phase change material (PCM) is of great significance for the efficient utilization of thermal energy. To address the issues of slow thermal response and non-uniform melting of the LHTES technology, a hybrid heat transfer enhancement method combined with finned metal foam and steady rotation is proposed in this work. An enthalpy-porosity model considering non-Darcy porous effects and mechanical rotation is established based on the local thermal equilibrium assumption and the fixed grid system. Four different structures (uniform metal foam, graded metal foam, finned metal foam with uniform porosity, and finned metal foam with graded porosity) are investigated firstly to identify the optimal structural arrangement under the same volume of PCM. Numerical results demonstrate that the LHTES units strengthened by the finned metal foam with graded porosity achieve the shortest melting time and largest thermal energy storage rate (TESR). The graded porous structure reduces thermal resistance, rotation enhances flow and heat transfer inside the container, and the fins expand the heat source area. Moreover, the effect of different fin types, graded porosities, and rotational speeds are further considered. The findings suggest that the increase of these three parameters does not correspond to better thermal performance; instead, there is an optimal value. Compared with the base case, the optimal configuration (fin length of 20 mm, fin width of 1.5 mm, porosity gradient of 2%, and rotational speed of 0.5 rpm) can shorten the melting time by 46.68%, increase the TESR and Nu by 74.06% and 69.02%, respectively. This paper validates the feasibility of the hybrid heat transfer enhancement method with finned metal foam and steady rotation, which can offer new insights into the engineering practice of the LHTES technology.
In this paper, a combined passive graded metal foam and active mechanical rotation strategy is proposed to simultaneously solve the problem of slow melting rate and non-uniform phase change problem of the latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) technology. The enthalpy-porosity method and fixed grid structure are employed to numerically investigate the effects of porosity range, the number of graded layers, and the rotational angular velocity. Moreover, the response surface method (RSM) is further selected to optimize the structural parameters and obtain the function of melting performance and various factors. The result shows that there is an optimal porosity range and the total melting time decreases first and then increases with the increase of porosity range. When the porosity range is 12% and the graded layer is three, it can shorten the melting time by 35.54% and increase the thermal energy storage rate (TESR) by 51.57%. In addition, the melting performance is gradually improved as the number of graded layers increases. The strengthening effect of graded metal foam with just four layers is close to that of the maximum layers considered in this paper. The trend of the influence of rotation speed on the melting performance of the LHTES unit is consistent with the porosity range, indicating the existence of the optimal rotational speed. The RSM optimization structure, with a 14.969% porosity range, 5-layer graded number, and 2.267 rpm rotational speed, shortens the melting time by 42.42% and increases the TESR by 62.75% compared with the stationary case with uniform metal foam. This work verifies the effectiveness of active rotation coupling with passive graded porous structures, which could provide a new strengthening approach to enhance LHTES.
The latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) technology based on solid-liquid phase change material (PCM) is characterized by high energy storage density, small volume change, and constant operation temperature, which is widely employed in waste heat recovery, solar thermal utilization, and equipment thermal management. This paper introduces active flipping and graded porous to strengthen natural convection and heat conduction to alleviate the issue of low thermal conductivity and non-uniform phase change of PCM. Based on the fixed grid system, the enthalpy-porosity method combined with time-dependent gravity and non-Darcy porous effect is employed to solve the solid-liquid phase change problem under different porosity gradients, dimensionless flipping times (t*), t *), and modified Ra (Ra*) Ra *) numbers. Furthermore, the effects of the Ra * on the optimal t * and porosity gradient are also discussed. The results show that the flipping method can significantly enhance flow and heat transfer within the container, improve temperature field uniformity, and increase the proportion of latent heat storage. With the increase of porosity gradient and t *, the melting time initially decreases and then increases and the optimal thermal performance is achieved at a 6 % porosity gradient and t * = 0.4. Compared to the uniform porous structure without flipping, it can shorten melting time by 49.37 % and improve thermal energy storage rate (TESR) by 76.23 %. Additionally, the optimal porosity gradient is 6 % under different Ra *, but the optimal t * decreases with the increase of Ra *. This paper explores the charging performance of the thermal energy storage system with the graded metal foam structure and active flip method, which can contribute to the study of heat transfer enhancement in LHTES technology.
This paper focuses on the strengthening study of the latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) unit and proposes a coupling strengthening method with non-uniform graded metal foam and active rotation. The non-uniform graded metal foams are employed to enhance heat conduction, and the rotation method is selected to make full use of natural convection. The solidification and melting behavior under the coupling effect of non-uniform metal foam and active rotation are numerically analyzed. The aluminum foam is partially concentrated and divided into two parts (concentrated part and diluted part) and is divided into the even-layered or uneven-layered porous structures according to the different regions area. Under the same volume of phase change material (PCM), the effects of layered forms (even-layered and uneven-layered approach), concentrated porosity, concentrated ratio, and rotational speed are performed. It can be concluded that the metal foam should concentrated near the inner tube and the uneven-layered structure can further improve the phase change heat transfer performance compared to the even-layered structure. Moreover, the thermal performance of the LHTES unit improves firstly and then decreases as the concentrated porosity, concentrated ratio, and rotational speed increase. The optimal values are obtained at 0.86 concentrated porosity, 0.3 concentrated ratio, and 0.5 rpm rotational speed. Compared with the static case with uniform metal foam, the melting time, solidification time, and total melting and solidification time can be significantly reduced by 40.30 %, 28.66 %, and 33.18 %, respectively. Similarly, the thermal energy storage rate can be correspondingly increased by 62.57 %, 40.82 %, and 54.11 %, respectively.

Passive heat dissipation cooling technologies based on natural convection in open channels can effectively control the maximum temperature and improve the temperature homogeneity of 5G base stations, data centers and other equipment. In this paper, the flow and heat transfer of natural convection in an open-ended square channel with two suspending heat sources are studied through numerical simulation. The distributions of the temperature field and flow field in the channel with different horizontal distances and vertical altitude differenced of the heat sources are acquired via the finite element method (FEM)-based COMSOL Multiphysics. The changes in local temperature and the local Nusselt number are obtained. The relationships between the temperature field, flow field, and Nusselt number with respect to the geometric parameters of the heat sources are discussed. With different geometric parameters of the two suspending heat sources, the average surface temperature at the bottom is always lower than the top, while the average Nusselt number reaches maximum and minimum values at the bottom and top surfaces, respectively. As the horizontal distance increases, the maximum vertical airflow velocity decreases. The average surface temperature and local Nusselt number go through a V-shape and reverse V-shape tendency, respectively. The maximum temperature at the surface of the heat source is 397 K at a horizontal distance of 0.36 m. The local Nusselt number on the side of the heat source reaches its maximum at a horizontal distance of 0.28 m with an average value of 33.5. As the vertical altitude difference increases, the temperature difference between the heat sources increases from 0 K to 54 K, and the maximum vertical airflow velocity goes through a reverse V-shape tendency. The Nusselt number of the right heat source decreases to a certain value of about 20, while that of the left heat source goes through a fluctuating tendency. The results show that the best arrangement of the heat sources is a vertical altitude difference of 0 m and a horizontal distance of 0.28 m.
