Multi-layered thermal energy storage using phase change materials and molten salt for high-temperature waste heat recovery

Daniel Avilés, Emanuele Zanetti, Simone Mancin, Kamel Hooman

Industrial high-temperature waste heat remains a largely underused high-grade energy source due to the limited techno-economic performance of conventional thermal energy storage (TES) systems. This paper proposes a novel multi-layered hybrid TES concept that combines phase change materials (PCMs) and molten salts …

Modeling approach for shell-and tube PCM-based thermal storage optimization

Daniel Aviles, Emanuele Zanetti, Kamel Hooman

Thermal energy storage (TES) plays a critical role in the transition towards decarbonization. Phase Change Material (PCM)-based shell-and-tube TES systems have attracted increasing attention; however, their modeling often relies on single-pipe simulations that do not capture key physical phenomena, or on complex …

Design of a modular heat storage for heat commodification: Optimal aspect ratio of a laterally heated PCM enclosure

Luoguang Zhao, Chunrong Zhao, Michael Opolot, Simone Mancin et autres

In this work, we numerically investigate a rectangular PCM tank with isothermal heating applied to one vertical wall, while the remaining walls are insulated. The effects of enclosure length ( L ) and height ( H ) on melting performance are systematically …

2D and 3D Topology Optimization of a Heat-Exchanger Manifold for Flow Distribution in Laminar and Turbulent Regimes

Mayank Gupta, Lionel Arnaud, Kamel Hooman

Optimization of heat-exchanger manifolds can significantly improve the flow distribution inside their cores, improving the heat exchange and reducing flow obstruction. It also reduces the overall mass of the system and with it, the cost of additive manufacturing. However, during optimization, domains …

Commercially focused strategies to enhance PCM thermal conductivity in latent thermal energy storage systems

Righetti Giulia, Kamel Hooman, Zilio Claudio, Dario Guarda et autres

It is widely recognized among specialists that PCMs (Phase Change Materials) typically have low thermal conductivity, which significantly restricts their commercial use. This study presents alternative, low-cost, yet effective approaches to enhance the average thermal conductivity of a PCM system (a commercially …
