20.500.12556/RUL-133679 Applicability of MCDM algorithms for the selection of phase change materials for thermal energy storage heat exchangers Uporaba algoritmov MCDM pri izbiri fazno spremenljivih snovi v prenosnikih toplote sistemov za shranjevanje toplote Latent heat thermal energy storage heat exchangers store heat energy by virtue of the phase transition that occurs in the thermal storage media. Since phase change materials (PCMs) are utilized as the media, there is a critical necessity for the appropriate selection of the PCM utilized. Since multiple thermo-physical properties and multiple PCMs are required to be evaluated for the selection, there arises a need for multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) algorithms to be adopted for the selection. But owing to the different weight estimation techniques employed and the voluminous quantity of selection algorithms available, there arises a need for a comparative methodology to be adopted. This study was intended to select an optimal PCM for a sustainable steam cooking application coupled with a thermal energy storage system. In this research study, six PCMs were chosen as the alternatives and five thermo-physical properties were chosen as the criteria for the evaluation. 11 different algorithms were augmented with 3 different weight estimation techniques and therefore a total of 33 algorithms were employed in this study. All of the algorithms have chosen Erythritol as the optimal PCM for the application. The outcomes of the MCDM algorithms have been validated through an intricate Pearson’s correlation coefficient study. latent heat phase change material multiple criteria decision making thermal energy storage eritritol latentna toplota večkriterijsko odločanje fazno spremenljive snovi kuhanje na pari shranjevanje toplote true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-12-08 14:29:32 2021-12-08 14:29:36 2022-09-13 03:52:02 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 Str. 611-622 no. 11 Vol. 67 Nov. 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 536.24 0039-2480 10.5545/sv-jme.2021.7356 88454915 RAZ_Felix_Paul_Gregory_2021.pdf RAZ_Felix_Paul_Gregory_2021.pdf 1 4388C117AD0A975D7D1BB9957B678C66 7f73031000ec92cd30da7ba9ff67d13bac7a4447d8be96d2dfca49ccade245e1 dbb6d945-582a-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=151946 https://www.sv-jme.eu/sl/article/applicability-of-mcdm-algorithms-for-the-selection-of-phase-change-materials-for-thermal-energy-storage-heat-exchangers/ 1 c92c512c-582a-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=151945 Fakulteta za strojništvo Strojniški vestnik 0 0 0
