To assure high quality thermal storage and high efficiency of its acquisition, thermal
stratification is often employed in domestic hot water tanks. The whole motivation of …

Thermally stratified storage tank studies have spanned over 50 years to increase the thermal
storage efficiency and accurate prediction of the outlet temperature particularly for solar …

Heat–power decoupling is important for combined heat and power (CHP) plants because it
improves their operational flexibility. In this study, off-design and thermodynamic analysis …

In this study, the influence of inlet geometry on the degree of stratification attainable in
thermocline thermal energy storage is investigated. The turbulent mixing caused by different …

As renewable energies are incorporated in larger shares in the electricity grid and district
heating and cooling networks, the integration of storage solutions becomes more important …

The numerical model of a molten-salt-based thermocline tank with multi-layer wall structure
is established. A comprehensive parametric study on integrated thermal and mechanical …

Thermal energy storage in buildings is essential to reduce energy consumption, to switch
electrical consumption from on-peak period to off-peak period and to develop the use of …

A survey of the stratified thermal storage tank one-dimensional models available in the
literature has been conducted. Six of these models were tested and compared against the …

Integrated collector storage is a long established simple low cost solar water heater
configuration combining the solar collector with a storage tank into a single unit. Previous …

In solar system simulations, the user wants fast yet reasonably accurate calculations. A new
tank model for TRNSYS has been written to include features such as: conduction along the …
