Thermal Performance of a Packed Bed Energy Storage System

More about the book

Focusing on the challenge of intermittent solar thermal energy, this book presents a system designed to ensure a continuous energy supply regardless of solar availability. It details a mathematical model that predicts the thermal behavior of a packed bed system capable of simultaneous charging, storage, and discharging during a heating cycle. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this system in converting and storing solar energy for continuous use, making it a valuable resource for professionals and students in mechanical engineering and solar energy fields.
