The Freezing Process of Water inside a Vertical Cylinder with a Finned Tube

초록

In order to increase the effective conductivity of the P.C.M during the freezing process, annularly finned tubes are widely used for the ice-on-coil type thermal storage system. In the present study, its heat transfer characteristics are experimentally investigated. The heat transfer rates of the annular finned tube are compared to those of smooth tube in order to demonstrate the increasing effect of the heat transfer rate.
