Heat Transfer During Discharging of NEPCM Through the Finned Container

To maximize the efficiency of freezing, the combinations of using nanoparticles and fins have been utilized in current work. Incorporating nanofluids into solidification processes provides a refined and efficient approach to transitioning materials from a liquid to a solid state. Triangular container involving fins has been implemented. The shape and fraction of nanoparticles were varied in this research. The derived equations were solved via finite element method and the associated code has been validated based on prior article. The reduction of freezing time was presumed as the main goal of research to resource utilization in various industries. As a greater amount of nano-powders is utilized, the conduction becomes stronger and the freezing rate improves about 27%. Also, altering the shape of particles and applying powders with bigger m can lead to a reduction of time of freezing by about 7%.
