Thermal Energy Storage Analyses and Designs considers the significance of thermal energy storage systems over other systems designed to handle large quantities of energy, comparing storage technologies and emphasizing the importance, advantages, practicalities, and operation of thermal energy storage for large quantities of energy production. Including chapters on thermal storage system configuration, operation, and delivery processes, in particular the flow distribution, flow arrangement, and control for the thermal charge and discharge processes for single or multiple thermal storage containers, the book is a useful reference for engineers who design, install, or maintain storage systems. Includes computer code for thermal storage analysis, including code flow chartsContains a database of material properties relevant to storageProvides example cases of input and output data for the code INDICE: 1. Introduction 2. Thermal Storage System Configuration and Basic Operation 3. Thermal Energy Storage Materials 4. Mathematical Analysis of Thermal Storage Systems 5. Examples of Experimental and Analytical Results on Temperature Variation of Discharged Fluid, and Energy Storage Effectiveness 6. Sizing of Thermal Storage Systems for Desired Tasks 7. Thermal Storage System Structural and Mechanical Issues and Solutions 8. Thermal Insulation for Thermal Storage Systems 9. Nomenclatures 10. References 11. Appendix: Computer code for thermal storage analysis
