| Abstract | This research conducted an experimental and numerical study of the solidification process of a water saturated porousmedium. The experiments were conducted in a rectangular test cell cooled from the lateral walls to obtain quantitativetemperature distribution and solidification interface motion. Solid glass and steel particles were used as the porous medium anddistilled water was the phase-change material. A one-dimensional mathematical model considered heat conduction as the onlymode of heat transfer in both the frozen and unfrozen layer. A comparison of the experimental data with numerical predictions ofthe interface position and temperature distribution showed good agreement and thus confirmed the proposed mathematical modelfor a system of glass particles and water. For a system of steel particles and water, the computed results give the same trends asthe experimental data. |
