Problems solved by technology

We know that the small thermal conductivity of the phase change material makes the freeze-thaw phase change rate slow, especially in the case of a large inner diameter of the concentric sleeve, the heat exchange effect between the phase change material and the fluid is not ideal, which will affect the solid-liquid Phase change, a form of high-density energy storage and release heat transfer, is popularized and applied in thermal systems. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out solid-liquid phase change to enhance heat transfer.
In addition, the flow heat transfer performance in the traditional cylindrical heat exchange tube also needs to be optimized and improved.
