Numerical investigation of the influence of mushy zone parameter Amush on heat transfer characteristics in vertically and horizontally oriented thermal energy storage systems

The effect of the value used for the mushy zone parameter (Amush) on predicted heat transfer and melting characteristics of a phase change material (PCM) Lauric acid, in both vertical and horizontal enclosures was studied. There is a lack of clarity regarding which value of this parameter should be...
