Abstract

A physical model has been developed to analyze the enhanced heat transfer process of the latent functionally thermal fluid with microencapsulated phase‐change material. The problem is solved by the combination of the finite difference method and the moving heat source method. The calculated results reveal that putting the phase‐change microcapsules into the fluids can enhance the heat transfer capabilities of the mixture. The effects of capsule radius and concentration of particles are numerically predicted. The numerical results provide the theoretical basis for the application and design of the latent functionally thermal fluid. Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Latent heat storage systems especially those employing organic materials have been reported to exhibit a rather slow thermal response. This is mainly due to the relatively low thermal conductivities of organic latent heat materials. This paper reports experiments carried out to investigate methods o
