Syllabus for PCM Simulation Course In ANSYS Fluent

We have structured this course into 4 comprehensive sessions. You will receive all geometry, mesh, simulation files, and step-by-step video tutorials for every session.

Session 1: Fundamentals of Phase Change Materials

We start with the essential theory. Before running any software, you must understand the physics.

Definition & Basics: What are PCMs and how do they work?
Industry Applications: How PCM is used in thermal energy storage, building materials, and electronics cooling.
Thermodynamic Analysis: Understanding material properties and phase change behavior.
Heat Transfer Mechanisms: How to enhance heat transfer during melting and solidification.

Session 2: PCM in Heat Exchangers (Validation Case 1)

In this practical session, we perform a numerical validation of the paper: “Enhanced Heat Transfer for PCM Melting in Triplex Tube with Internal-External Fins.”

Modeling Geometry: Creating the triplex tube domain.
Structured Meshing: Generating a high-quality grid for accurate results.
CFD Setup: Configuring the solver for multi-tube heat exchangers.
Validation: Comparing our simulation results with the reference paper to analyze heat transfer rates.
Outcome: You will master the design of PCM-based heat exchangers.

Session 3: Melting in Spherical Cavity (Validation Case 2)

We move to a new geometry to understand melting behavior in confined spaces. We validate the paper: “Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Paraffin Wax Melting in Spherical Cavity.”

Complex Geometry: Handling spherical shells and confined containers.
Experimental Comparison: Replicating a hands-on experiment inside the virtual environment.
Physics Focus: Analyzing how natural convection affects the melting shape of Paraffin Wax.
Results Interpretation: Understanding the liquid fraction and temperature distribution over time.

Session 4: PCM in Renewable Energy (Validation Case 3)

Explore the future of green energy. We validate the paper: “PCM to Improve Solar Panel’s Performance.”

Solar Application: Integrating PCM to cool down photovoltaic panels.
Efficiency Analysis: How storing thermal energy improves power generation.
Sustainable Design: Modeling the cycle of storing and releasing solar energy.
Final Project: A complete walkthrough of a renewable energy simulation.
