FROM THE METAPHOR OF WATER TO CORRESPONDENCES BETWEEN ENESCU, EMINESCU, BLAGA AND THE ROMANIAN SPIRITUALITY by Olguţa LUPU

Impact of tube shapes on the energy storage and thermal-hydraulic performances of finned latent heat energy storage systems by Zihao Cheng, Juan Du, Shuao Jia, Chengxiang Xiao, Feng Jiao, Yuxiang Hong

“…The effects of fins' maximum vertical height (Lmax) and tube shapes on the LHTES performance are investigated statistically. The results demonstrate that compared to the traditional circular tube LHTES system, employing the polygonal LHTES system can increase average integral heat flux by up to 14.53 %, enhance power by up to 21.21 %, and reduce average integral thermal entropy generation by up to 23.97 %, which effectively reduces the energy consumption of the system. …”
