\u003cp\u003eThermal Energy Storage in Porous Media introduces the new design concepts and operation strategies for the core part of heat and mass transfer in thermal energy storage tanks. With a strong focus on design, operation and optimization, the book presents the latest advances in thermal energy storage. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOpening with an introduction to latent heat thermal storage, the book then discusses porous media enhanced thermal storage classifications, methods and characterizations. Subsequent topics include energy charging/discharging system design, numerical simulation models and verification, and an analysis of various melting/solidification laws. Finishing with a detailed presentation of applications and containing case studies and real-world examples throughout, this is an essential read for graduate students, researchers and engineers interested in thermal engineering, energy systems, and renewable energy. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePresents the emerging design concept of using porous media, such as metal foam, for heat transfer enhancement\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDetails mechanisms and processes for the transient phenomena of thermal energy storage/release process in porous media\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDescribes comparable analysis and modeling methods for the transient problem, including the volume-averaged method, pore-scale reconstruction approach, and the Lattice Boltzmann method\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
