This communication extends the thermodynamic analysis of latent heat storage in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, developed recently, to the complete heat storage-removal cycle. Conditions for the cyclic operation of this system are formulated within the quasi-steady approximation for the axisymmetric two-dimensional conduction-controlled phase change. Explicit expressions for the overall number of entropy generation units that account for heat transfer and pressure drop irreversibilities are derived. Optimization of this figure of merit with respect to the freezing point of the phase-change material and with respect to the number of heat transfer units is analyzed. When the frictional irreversibilities of the heat removal stage are negligible, the results of these studies are in agreement with those developed recently by De Lucia and Bejan (1991) for a one-dimensional latent heat storage system.

An experimental study using paraffin wax as a phase change material (PCM) was performed to analyse thermal physiognomies on the latent heat storage system (LHS). The use of phase change materials through latent heat storage is an unusual approach to maintaining thermal energy. There is the advantage of considerably high energy storage and the uniform temperature of the storage process. Tube & shell type heat exchanger (HE) has been used in this experimentation. Water circulates in tubes and around the tube’s paraffin wax as phase change material is filled. The focus is on heating (charging) and cooling (discharging) of PCM (paraffin wax), which is the melting and solidifying of paraffin wax. The temperature distribution in paraffin is studied consistent with the various flow rates of the warmth transfer fluid.
