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: 1.7 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: 1.4 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: 0.6 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: 0.00072 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: 0.43 SJR: 0.318 SNIP: 0.568 CiteScore™:: 3.5 H-Index: 28

ABSTRACT

This work studies the effect of channel geometries on melting process (charging) in a phase change material (PCM) cylindrical storage. In order to investigate the melting process, different geometries of HTF channel cross section including circular, rectangular, elliptical, square, and diamond-like are considered. The results show that the melting time of 75% of PCM for all models is very close to each other and there is no significant difference. Thenceforward the main differences appear that depend on the geometry of PCM storage and the impact of the buoyant force. Through this study it is found that PCM cylindrical storage with vertical rectangular cross section has the highest melting rate in comparison with all models, and the melting time decreases to 74% of the circular cross section, while horizontal rectangular and elliptical cross sections melt slower than other all models.
