Abstract
In this work the transient analysis of the behavior of a packed bed of encapsulated phase change material (PCM) and the condensing flow through it is presented. The rigorous model used assumes no local thermal equilibrium between the bed particles and the working fluid, and incorporates the inertia effects in the momentum transport by the use of the Ergun-Forchheimer equation. Condensation in the working fluid is investigated. Thermal charging of the packed bed is analyzed and compared for a sensible heat storage material as well as for different latent heat storage materials (PCMs).
