Continuous depletion of non-renewable energy resources led to raise serious issues on their future availability and create a huge difference between supply and demand of energy. This problem can be solved by either using the renewable energy like solar, wind, tidal etc. or by reusing the waste energy. Renewable energy is the most promising, clean and safe source of energy. The main problem associated with the use of renewable energy is its oscillating nature e.g. solar energy is only available at daytime and to utilize waste heat, we need a device which can store waste energy at a faster rate and release heat on demand hours. During peak hours the consumption of energy is editor@iaeme.com

2 Heat Balance Integral Method for Cylindrical and Spherical Encapsulated Phase Change Thermal Energy Storage System higher than its generation and at night energy generation is higher than its consumption, this excess heat at night can be stored in a suitable energy storage system and may use in many industrial & domestic purpose. Both the problem can be solved by using thermal energy storage system. Likewise any other conventional energy storage system (electrical energy storage - battery, mechanical energy storage - flywheel), thermal energy storage system is used to store energy as sensible heat, latent heat, and thermo-chemical heat or combination of these, as a change in internal energy of a phase change material. In Sensible TES, thermal energy is stored by changing the temperature of storage medium while Latent TES is stored energy available during phase change. Phase change materials (PCMs) for TES are materials which provide a suitable way of charging and discharging of thermal energy due to their large heat storage capacity at constant temperature. PCM are broadly classified into main categories: organic, inorganic and eutectic [1]. Selection of PCM is basically based on their melting temperature & applications. Materials, which have melting temperature below 15 C are used for cooling purpose while materials which melts above 90 C are used for absorption refrigeration. Nomenclature C = Heat capacity T m = melting temperature, K k = constant, k=1,2 for cylinder & sphere respectively T s = surface temperature, K K = thermal conductivity, W/m K α = thermal diffusivity, m 2 /s L = latent heat, J/Kg Q τ = non-dimensional total heat non-dimensional radial distance of ƞ = absorbed phase front, δ/r i R = radius, m ƞ time rate of non-dimensional radial = distance of phase front, d ƞ/d τ r i = inner radius, m ξ = non-dimensional radial distance within phase change, r/r i S t = Stefan number, = density, Kg/m non-dimensional temperature, t = time, s θ = T = temperature, K τ = non-dimensional time, All other materials that melt in between these two temperatures are used in heating purpose [2]. Encapsulation of PCM is the technique used to keep the PCM in a container to avoid any direct contact between the PCM and HTF. To ensure long-term thermal performance of any PCM system, the size and shape of the PCM container must correspond to the melting time of the PCM. Two geometries commonly employed as PCM containers are the rectangular and cylindrical containers []. A number of experimental and analytical investigations have been carried out by the researchers on phase change thermal energy storage system of different geometry under different boundary conditions. A phase change problem has to be solved separately due to the non-linear nature of the problem. There is wide range of different kinds of methods available for solving phase change problems. The most common methods are the heat balance integral method [7, 1, 16], enthalpy method [1, 16] and finite difference methods [12]. G.E.Bell [4] has numerically solved melting and freezing problem by HBIM and improved the accuracy of editor@iaeme.com

3 Mayank Srivastava and Dr. M.K.Sinha HBIM by subdividing dependent variable temperature into equal intervals. A system of first order, non-linear differential equations is produced to calculate the position of each isotherm. G.Poots [5] investigated the location and time history of the one dimensional solid-liquid interface during the inward solidification of semi-infinite region, circular cylinder and sphere by approximate integral method which is similar to solution of boundary layer equations. Semi-infinite solid of constant cross section area under 1-Dimensional convective heating was numerically analysed by Anant Prasad [6] using Biot variational method to calculate temperature build-up, thermal penetration depth and melt fraction. Figure 1 Thermal Energy Storage System James Caldwell & C.K.Chiu [7] found that in spherical case the solidification front moves slightly slower and a smooth solution for solidification front can be obtained by using the front-tracking method. Spherical outward melting of PCM in radial direction was investigated by A.Kumar et al. [8] by employing Variational, Integral and Quasi-steady method. He-Sheng Ren [9] obtained the solutions of the one-dimensional inward solidification in Cartesian and spherical encapsulation problem by heat balance integral method. A.Prasad et al. [10] numerically investigated melting phenomena of PCM encapsulated in a rectangular container under radiative heat injection by Biot variational method, HBIM & Quasi-static method. The result obtained with all these methods was almost same. R.K.Sharma et al. [11] provided the solution of a two-dimensional solidification problem in isosceles trapezoidal cavity by using CFD software. The heat transfer mainly occurs due to the conduction. K.Morgan [12] used explicit finite difference method to solve freezing and melting phenomenon in a cylindrical thermal cavity. The method takes into account the combined effect of conduction and convection heat transfer. The method used was validated by comparing the result with the experimental result. The accuracy of heat balance integral method has been considerably improved by successive sub division of the dependent variable [4, 7] and/or by choosing suitable temperature profile like cubic [6, 9], exponential, quadratic [1] profile. A.S.Wood [1] gave six alternative ways to develop the original quadratic HBI solutions to solve melting of a semi-infinite slab, initially at its melting temperature by HBIM. A new method has been developed by T.G.Myers [14] to find out the best possible value of power of highest order term in the approximating function used in HBIM by minimizing the square of the difference of the terms in the heat equations editor@iaeme.com

4 Heat Balance Integral Method for Cylindrical and Spherical Encapsulated Phase Change Thermal Energy Storage System R.S.Gupta and Dhirendra Kumar [15] used modified variable time step method to obtain numerical results for solidification of a liquid initially at its fusion temperature. The result obtains for the movement of the interface & temperature distribution was compared with the result found by HBIM. PCM Solidification by enthalpy method & HBIM over a wide range of the Stefan number except for very small value of Stefan number were numerically analysed by James Caldwell and Ching-chuen chan [16]. Anica Trp [17] numerically and experimentally analysed the shell and tube type latent heat thermal energy storage system during melting and solidification process to evaluate the heat transfer during process. The experimental energy and exergy analysis during the charging process has been reported by Dinu G Thomas, Sajith babu et al. [18] by using sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate as phase change material. Piia Lamberg, Reijo Lehtiniemi et al. [19] numerically & experimentally investigated the PCM storage devices with and without heat transfer enhancement structure by enthalpy method and heat capacity method. The result obtained with numerical analysis is compared with the experimental results. Stetislav Savovic et al. [20] applied finite difference approach to analyse the one-dimensional Stefan problem with periodic fixed boundary condition. In the present paper, the behaviour of PCM melting, in a spherical and cylindrical encapsulation under dirchilet boundary condition has been numerically analysed by using MATLAB. 2. MATHEMATICAL MODELLING A schematic drawing of a spherical and cylindrical vessel containing solid PCM used in the present study is shown in fig.2. For simplicity, we consider a single phase 1-dimensional problem of melting of PCM inside a spherical and cylindrical capsule, whereas practical melting problem is rarely one dimensional, initial and boundary conditions are always complex. Initially, PCM is at its melting temperature T m. The temperature at the vessel boundary T s is higher than the PCM melting temperature T m. Since the term moving boundary problems is associated with time-dependent boundary problems, also referred as Stefan problems, where the position of the moving boundary must be determined as a function of time and space. As the time passes solid PCM will melt due to the boundary temperature applied at vessel and the governing equations for this process may be described by: = Liquid Solid (1) Solid-Liquid Interface Figure 2 Schematic drawing of encapsulated PCM undergoing outward melting 89 editor@iaeme.com

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS In this part we present the numerical results obtained by using heat balance integral method in cylindrical and spherical melting process of phase change materials used in thermal energy storage. Figure Behaviour of the non-dimensional interface location with non-dimensional time, Stefan s number is taken as a parameter. In Fig., the plot shows the variation of interface location/depth with time for different values of Stefan s number. For each values of Stefan number during initial time, interface depth rapidly increases with time and as the time passes, interface depth becomes almost linear with time. This happens because during starting time heat transfer rate increases more sharply. The solution obtained for present problem by using HBIM depends upon Stefan s number. It is observed that at any time instant as St decreases interface depth increases editor@iaeme.com

7 Mayank Srivastava and Dr. M.K.Sinha Figure 4 Non-dimensional heat transfer with non-dimensional time, Stefan s number is taken as a parameter Fig.4 shows the heat transfer variation with time in spherical and cylindrical melting on different values of Stefan s number. During initial time of melting because of large temperature difference available between two phases, the heat transfer increases more rapidly. But as the time passes, heat transfer becomes linear with time. This happens because temperature difference between two phases also decreases. This means that, except the initial time interval, the heat transfer rate is very slow. The time taken to absorb a fixed amount of heat in spherical melting process is lower than that of cylindrical melting process. Figure 5 Behaviour of the non-dimensional rate interface position with non-dimensional time, Stefan s number is taken as a parameter The rate of interface position is a function of Stefan s number (Eq ). The plot between rate of interface position and time is almost a single curve for all values of Stena s number (Fig.5). Rate of interface position decreases with time for all values of Stefan s number editor@iaeme.com

8 Heat Balance Integral Method for Cylindrical and Spherical Encapsulated Phase Change Thermal Energy Storage System 4. CONCLUSIONS The melting phenomenon in Cylindrical and Spherical encapsulated thermal energy system with phase change materials at fixed temperature heat transfer is investigated. In present work, only HBIM is used for single phase change models in cylindrical and spherical melting. This method can be further applied on more complicated and realistic melting/solidification problems. Heat transfer between different phases occurs only by conduction. The effect of convection and radiation is neglected. REFERENCE [1] Belen Zalba, Jose Ma Marın, Luisa F.
