Melting performance enhancement in latent heat storage module using solid extraction electrohydrodynamics (EHD)
Abstract
An experimental investigation to study the effect of electrohydrodynamics (EHD) on the thermal performance of a latent heat thermal storage cell during melting of paraffin wax was performed. The test section was designed to eliminate natural convection and to ensure conduction dominated melting environment to isolate the influence of the electric field. The results showed that by applying a (−8kV) voltage potential across the storage module, …
