Abstract

The objective of this manuscript is to study the possibility of improving the thermal
performance of an Evacuated Tube Solar Collector with the integration of a Phase
Change Material (PCM). A 2D mathematical model has been proposed. In addition, the
feasibility of thermal coupling was studied. The objective of this study is to store all of
the heat released during the absorption of hydrogen in a phase change material
"Mg69Zn28Al3" For this, in this present study, we wanted to study the possibility of store the heat,
released during hydrogen charging, in a phase change material (PCM), to restore it
during the desorption step of the reactor The various results obtained will be presented
and discussed.

Keywords:

Mg69Zn28Al3; phase change material; magnesium hydride; absorption; melting
