Effect of natural convection on melting performance of eccentric horizontal shell and tube latent heat storage unit

In order to improve melting rate of latent heat storage system, the effect of natural convection during melting process in eccentric horizontal shell and tube storage unit is investigated in this study. The melting performance in different eccentricity (e) and boundary temperature (Tw) is obtained through experiment research and numerical simulation. During the experiment study, the temperature variations at different positions are measured....
