摘要

A precise understanding of the thermal behaviour and entropy generation of a suspension comprising nano-encapsulated phase change materials (NEPCM) is important for the thermal energy storage and heat transfer enhancement in various engineering applications. Studies to date, have improved the knowledge of the heat transfer of NCPCM. However, a suspension comprising NEPCM in the porous medium could enhance the overall heat transfer performance. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the thermal, hy-drodynamic and entropy generation behaviour of the NEPCM-suspensions in a porous medium. Conjugate natural convection heat transfer and entropy generation in a square cavity composed of a porous matrix (glass balls), occupied by a suspension comprising nano-encapsulated phase change materials, and two solid blocks is numerically investigated. Galerkin Finite Element Method is employed to solve the nonlinear coupled equations for the porous flow and heat transfer. The phase transition and the released/absorbed latent heat of the nano-capsules are attributed in a temperature-dependent heat capacity field. The thermal conductivity ratio (1 ≤ R_k ≤ 100), the Darcy number (10~(-5) ≤ Da ≤ 10~(-1)), the Stefan number (0.2 ≤ Ste ≤ 1), the porosity of porous medium (0.2 ≤ ε ≤ 0.9), the dimensionless fusion temperature (0.05 ≤ T_(fu) ≤ 0.95), the solid walls thickness (d_s = 0.1 and 0.3), and the volume fraction of the nano-capsules (0.0 ≤ Φ ≤ 5%) are considered for the numerical calculations. The numerical results illustrate that the rates of heat transfer and the average Bejan number are maximum and the generated entropy is minimum when the fusion temperature of the nano-capsules is T_(fu) = 0.5. Besides, adding the nano-sized particles of encapsulated phase change materials to the host fluid increases the heat transfer rate up to 45% (for the studied set of parameters) and also augments the average Bejan number. The total entropy generation elevates with the increment of the volume fraction of the nanoparticles, for low values of the Darcy number; however, a downward trend can be found for higher values of the Da. The combination of NEPCM-suspensions (with latent heat thermal energy storage) and a porous medium (with the extended surface area) provides an extensive capability for thermal enhancement and energy storage applications. In this regard, the findings of the current work demonstrate that the selection of the fusion temperature and Darcy number are two essential key parameters, which could change the trend of the results.
