Numerical Simulation of Paraffin Melting Process in an Inclined Channel
Keyword(s):
Numerical simulation of the melting of paraffin in the inclined straight channel shows that the melting speed of paraffin is faster in the early stage and gradually slows down in the later stage. It is found that heat conduction is the main heat transfer mode in the early stage of paraffin melting. With the increasing number of liquid paraffin, natural convection occurs in the liquid paraffin. The liquid paraffin with higher temperature flows upward due to the effect of buoyance and lift, and convection heat transfer gradually increases and takes the dominant position in the melting process.
