What is it about?

This paper presents the design and experimental evaluation of sensible heat thermal energy storage (TES) system for its energy storage performance by varying the air flow rate and packing material shape. Heat transfer fluid as air and solid concrete material of high density of different shapes were used for storage.

Why is it important?

This paper provides the data for designing the TES, considering the concrete as storage material and shape of material for optimizing the system.

Perspectives

This paper presents the evaluation of data of some experimental observations on the system. It was found that charging/discharging was based on the shape of the material and void fraction.
