Abstract
We present the results of a comparative study on thermally stratified tanks for hot storage. A two-dimensional model is employed. A numerica l solution was obtained using the control-volume technique due to Pata nkar. The two-dimensional model was simplified for the pure conduction case. Results from the two models were compared with each other and w ith available numerical and experimental results. (C) 1997 Elsevier Sc ience Ltd.
