In this paper, a numerical model is established to predict the phase change material (PCM) melting process in porous media. The heat transfer enhancement technique using metal foam in a shell-and-tube type latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) unit is investigated. The solid–liquid phase...

Continuous frying systems are very energy intensive. They also involve the interaction of many variables and complex heat and mass transfer processes. Better control of these processes can lead not only to improved product quality but also energy reduction. This paper presents a model that can...
