The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.5 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00017 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.28 SJR: 0.279 SNIP: 0.544 CiteScore™:: 2.5 H-Index: 22

ABSTRAKT

The paper aims to investigate numerically the thermal and flow characteristics of an internally finned rectangular enclosure during the solidification process of a superheated phase change material (PCM). This work is motivated by the need to intensify heat transfer and accelerate the discharge process in latent heat storage units. A mathematical model is developed and a fixed-grid enthalpy formulation is adopted for modeling the solidification process coupling with convection-conduction heat transfer. The finite volume method was used for discretization. The obtained numerical results are compared with experimental and numerical ones found in the literature and reasonable agreement is obtained. Numerical investigations were carried out to evaluate the effects of the aspect ratios of the rectangular enclosure, A, and fins, Af , on the heat transfer enhancement, by keeping the mass of the PCM and fins constant. Solutions are obtained for aspect ratios A (ranging from 3 to 8) and Af (ranging from 2.69 to 13.89). A comparative study of finned and unfinned enclosures shows clearly that introducing fins weakens the undesirable natural convection, improves the nondimensional rate of heat extraction, and assures rapid solidification. Results indicate that for an aspect ratio A = 4 and in the range of the aspect ratio Af explored in this study, the nondimensional solidification time is reduced by 17.74%. The results also reveal that for a fin aspect ratio of Af = 5, the nondimensional solidification time is reduced by 49.48% when the aspect ratio of the enclosure, A, varies from 3 to 8.
