Abstract

The effect of the value used for the mushy zone parameter (Amush) on predicted heat transfer and melting characteristics of a phase change material (PCM) Lauric acid, in both vertical and horizontal enclosures was studied. There is a lack of clarity regarding which value of this parameter should be ...
