Hi everybody,
I have to analyse the charging/discharging mode of a Phase Change Material storage heated with a pipe running inside with heat transfer fluid,but i dont know anything about Comsol program.
I have made the design at Inventor and i have already introduced it into Comsol(conjugate heat transfer module).I have introduced the storage and the pipe materials(stainless steel and aluminum),but i dont know how to introduce the fluid inside the pipe and make it flows,the PCM inside the storage and the boundary conditions(conduction and convection)
I would like to do 2 analysis:
--Stationary model,to ensure the temperature in all areas remained above the melting point.
--Transient,to check the time required to reach the desired temperature.
I know im asking you too,but any help you can give me i will be grateful!!Im new with this program!!!!!!!
Thank you for your time,
Best regards,
Carlos
