Abstract

In this study, heat transfer during the melting process of a phase change material (PCM) is investigated. The PCM used in this study is paraffin wax. To predict Nusselt number (Nu), and stored energy (E), two artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed. Datasets collected from experiment are used for training, validating and testing the ANN model in the ratio of 80%, 10% and 10%, respectively. For predicting of Nusselt number, Rayleigh, Fourier and Stefan numbers are set as input parameters and the output is Nusselt number. For predicting stored energy, temperature, flow rate, and time is the input variable while stored energy is the output temperature. The accuracy of developed model is evaluated by Mean square error (MSE), R-square (R2) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The optimal structure of ANN based on minimum MSE, high R2 and low MAPE. The accuracy of the two models were proved by 0.0026 MSE, 0.851 R2 and 0.128 MAPE for predicting Nu and 0.0003 MSE, 0.993 R2, 0.033 MAPE for predicting stored energy. Two ANN models have high accuracy in predicting the heat transfer characteristics and the energy stored during PCM melting.
