Post by Dr. Pushpendra Kumar Shukla

Feeling truly relieved and grateful to share that one of my longest-pending PhD research works has finally been published in the Applied Thermal Engineering Journal, Elsevier (IF: 6.9) 😊 This paper is titled “Influence of Reynolds Number, Inclination Angle, and Partial Cycling on the Thermal Performance of a Shell-and-Tube Latent Heat Storage System: A Numerical Study.” (https://lnkd.in/gNPg-AqW) This study focuses on understanding how flow rate (Reynolds number), inclination of the storage unit, and partial charging–discharging cycles affect the thermal performance of a PCM-based shell-and-tube latent heat storage system. Through detailed numerical simulations, the work highlights how these parameters influence melting/solidification behavior, heat transfer enhancement, and overall system efficiency, which are crucial for designing reliable and energy-efficient thermal storage. Sincere thanks to the editors and reviewers for their constructive feedback and to my co-authors, Jaideep Shukla and Prof. P. Anil Kishan from IIT Mandi, for standing by this work throughout the process. #PhDJourney #ResearchPersistence #AppliedThermalEngineering #ThermalEnergyStorage #PCM #HeatTransfer #CFD #Grateful
