Abstract :

For the development of the economical heat storage medium, the 2 % by weight eutectic of kCl / water is among the most suitable heat storage material. The freezing point of this eutectic mixture is –6.0 oC. This temperature is sufficient to store pharmaceuticals and other heat sensitive materials. In this study the kCl / water eutectic mixture is prepared. The modeling of kCl / water eutectic mixture is studied and a mathematical correlation developed. The parameter, Biot number, bi. is studied and the variation of the dimensionless temperatures, with dimensionless time, Fo, are achieved for different values of the parameter ( Bi).
