Abstract Details

2004, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Mechanical Engineering.
Substantial thermal performance improvement in ice-on-tube TES (thermal energy storage) systems is possible by making use of porous copper mesh as a HCED (Heat Conducting Enhancement Device). HCEDs are inexpensive heat transfer augmentation devices that will result in faster rate of ice growth and larger final steady state ice build volume by reducing the controlling thermal conduction resistance of the ice layer. This will improve the competitiveness of external ice-on-tube systems as compared to other TES systems such as dynamic ice harvesters and static internal melt systems. In this study the degree of ice growth enhancement is predicted theoretically, by performing simplified calculations, and is then validated in the laboratory through carefully controlled experiments. This study shows ice volume increase between 50-90% is possible.
