RT Conference Proceedings T1 Convective heat transfer coefficient in a bubbling fluidized bed with PCM A1 Izquierdo-Barrientos, María Asunción A1 Sobrino, Celia A1 Almendros Ibáñez, José Antonio AB This work presents an experimental study to determine the capacity of a Phase Change Material (PCM) in granular form to be used in a bubbling fluidized bed for thermal energy storage. The experimental measurements are focused on the determination of the heat transfer coefficient between a heated surface and the granular PCM in fluidized state. The results obtained indicates that the heat transfer coefficient notably increases (up to values three times higher) when the granular PCM is in solid form because it changes its phase when touches the heated surface PB Engineering Conferences International YR 2013 FD 2013 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10016/20079 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10016/20079 LA eng NO Proceedings of: 14th International Conference on Fluidization: From Fundamentals to Products.
