A novel heat transfer enhancement method: Combination of Nano-encapsulated PCM and metal foam

进行了广泛的文献综述，仔细研究了该领域的许多文章。为了求解控制方程，在COMSOL和OPENFOAM软件中编制了两个求解器。对控制方程进行了无量纲处理，得到了控制参数。研究了它们对最大换热和最小压降的影响。对矩形截面微通道进行了研究。发现了许多有趣的结果，这就是为什么与所获得的结果有关的摘要被发送到一个国际会议上的原因。设计了实验装置，订购并接收了所需的微通道、纳米微囊PCM等设备和材料。实验装置的建立已经开始。

A wide literature review was done and many articles in this field was studied carefully. In order to solve the governing equations, two solvers were made in the COMSOL and OPENFOAM software. The governing equations were made dimensionless and the governing parameters were obtained. The effects of them on maximizing the heat transfer and minimization of pressure drop were investigated. The study was done for micro channels with rectangular cross-section. Many interesting results were found, and that’s why an abstract relating to the obtained results was sent to an international conference. An experimental device was designed and necessary equipment and materials such as microchannel, nano-encapsulated PCM etc. were ordered and received. Establishment of the experimental setup was started.
