Experimental study of melting heat transfer in an enclosure with three discrete protruding heat sources

摘要

To explore the possibility of using solid-liquid phase-change cooling for periodically or intermittently operated electronic equipment, details of an experimental study of time-depen- dent melting heat transfer in a rectangular enclosure with three discrete protruding heat sources is presented. A series of experimental measurements in an enclosure with phase-chage materials (PCM) of n-octadecane heated by three discrete protruding heat sources at a constant rate on one of vertical wall is described.
