| Abstract | Previous efforts to model the effectiveness of heat input and extraction from a thermal storage unit have generally been based on the definition of a constant conductance of heat from the working fluid to the phase change storage material. In order to capture the effects of changing thermal resistance between the working fluid and melt front location, this paper presents a method using a resistor network analogy to account for thermal conductance as a function of melt fraction. This expression for thermal conductance is then implemented in an existing numerical framework. Results are validated by comparing calculations for a single unit cell using a quasi-steady Stefan problem approach, a finite difference scheme, and more general form solutions from literature. The variable approach is then compared with an average value for overall thermal conductivity, U, to characterize the performance of a thermal energy storage unit consisting of a series of these unit cells. Overall effectiveness in the thermal energy storage device is found to be within 0.6% agreement when comparing these methods, though local percent deviation can be as high as 113%. Depending on the needed accuracy and use case for such a numerical framework, suggestions are provided on whether an average value for U is sufficient for characterizing such a thermal energy storage device. Discussion is also provided on the flexibility of the computation schemes described by testing the sensitivity of the results via changes in dimension-less input parameters. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
