U-value calculation
1. Mass of the PCM
(1) Cross area: (A) Pipe 1: 𝐴1 = 𝜋(𝐷𝑂
2)2= 1.96 × 10−3𝑚2 ; Pipe 2: 𝐴2 = 𝜋(
𝐷𝑖𝑛
2)2= 3.14 × 10−4𝑚2
(2) Volume of the PCM (VP) 𝑽𝑷 = 𝐴1 − 𝐴2 𝑳 = 1.646 × 10−3𝑚3
(3) Mass of the PCM (MP) 𝑴𝑷 = 𝝆𝑷 ∙ 𝑽𝑷 = 𝟐𝟑𝟓𝟓 × 1.646 × 10−3𝒌𝒈 = 3.88𝒌𝒈
(4) Suppose the latent heat of the PCM 𝑯𝑷=300𝒌𝑱
𝒌𝒈; total latent heat: 𝑳𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒕 = 𝑴𝑷 ∙ 𝑯𝑷= 3.88 × 300 𝒌𝑱 = 1162.9 𝒌𝑱
2. Suppose the flow rate inside the heat transfer tube is 𝒗𝒇 = 𝟎. 𝟓𝒎/𝒔
(1) The volume flow rate (𝒗 𝒇) 𝒗 𝒇 = 𝑨𝟐 ∙ 𝒗𝒇 = 3.14 × 10−4 ×
0.𝟓𝒎𝟑
𝒔= 𝟏. 𝟓𝟕 × 𝟏𝟎−𝟒𝒎𝟑/𝒔
(2) The mass flow rate (𝒎 𝒇) 𝒎 𝒇 = 𝒗 𝒇 ∙ 𝝆𝒇 = 𝟏. 𝟓𝟕 × 𝟏𝟎−𝟒 ×

1.2×𝟏𝟎−𝟔= 8333.333 So the flow is turbulent flow

Suppose the inlet temperature of the heat transfer oil is 300 °C
The charging time is around 1 hour. The charging time can be shorten by enhanced pipes, such as finned pipe.
