Numerical Heat Transfer Analysis of Flake Ice Storage System with Nanofluids

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ice Storage air-condition can be used to shift electrical load from on-peak hours to off-peak hours, which can bring mutual benefits to power supplier and consumers. An unsteady heat transfer numerical model is developed to predict the increment of thickness of ice layer of flake ice storage system with Cu-H2O nanofluids solidification. In this study, the speed of increment of ice layer of water and Cu-H2O nanofluids are compared.
