A thermal engineer needs to design a thermal storage unit for domestic application.
She determines that the total heat required for a full day of operation is
She identified two novel options: PCM storage unit and thermochemical storage based on zeoliteswater
The typical ambient temperature, water mains temperature, and operating storage temperature are and
The selected PCM is a bioester characterised by specific heat capacity solid of Jkg K specific heat capacity liquid of specific melting enthalpy of melting temperature of and density of
The thermochemical storage has been tested and guarantees a volumetric thermal energy storage density of
Indicate which technology requires less volume.
Report with significant figures the decrease of volume achieved
