... transfer enhancement techniques include inserting fins and extended surfaces into the PCM, embedding heat pipes or other two-phase heat transfer devices within the PCM, dispersion of highly conductive nanoparticles in the PCM, and impregnation of highly conductive porous media with the PCM. The current...

... The purpose of this study is to illustrate a method for obtaining the thermal performance and optimum dimensions of arrays consisting of rectangular longitudinal fins, cylindrical and elliptical cross-section spines. Since the majority of fin problems in an array have constant boundary...

... This paper reports new experimental data for forced-convection condensation of ethylene glycol on a set of five single, copper, integral-fin tubes. The five tubes had fin root diameter of 12.7 mm, fin height and thickness of 1.6 mm and 0.25 mm respectively. Fin spacings were 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5...
