Abstract
Three different models are developed in this investigation, for the study of thermal energy storage, using a phase change material with multi-melting temperatures. Using Model B as the basis, the developed partial differential equations are numerically solved by a finite difference method. Two computer programs were written based on that solution, one for the charging mode and one for discharging. Finally, using the computer programs, a set of results was obtained for both charging and discharging, utilizing calcium chloride hexahydrate as the phase change material with constant and multi-melting temperatures.
