An Experimental and Numerical Investigation into Phase Change Material Thermal Storage using High Voltage Electric Fields
The project entails an experimental and numerical investigation into the effect of adding seeding particles into a Phase Change Material (PCM) thermal storage system under the application of Electrohydrodynamics (EHD).In previous experiments we have seen an increase in heat transfer enhancement for the same applied electric field when we have added seeding particles. The objective of the project is to investigate the underlying physics of this effect by using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) to measure the velocity of the seeding particles.
