Beskrivning

Thermal Energy Storage in Porous Media: Design and Applications introduces new design concepts and operation strategies for the core part of heat and mass transfer in thermal energy storage tanks. With a strong focus on design, operation, and optimization, the book presents the latest advances in thermal energy storage. Opening with an introduction to latent heat thermal storage, the book then discusses porous media-enhanced thermal storage classifications, methods, and characterizations. Subsequent topics include energy charging/discharging system design, numerical simulation models and verification, and an analysis of various melting/solidification laws. Finishing with a detailed presentation of applications and packed with case studies and real-world examples throughout, this book is an essential read for graduate students, researchers, and engineers interested in thermal engineering, energy systems, and renewable energy.
