This repository contains the models for encapsulated latent energy storage (LTES) from the article:
F. Brosa Planella, A simple model for latent thermal energy storage systems with encapsulated phase-change material, Submitted for publication (2024).
To reproduce the results from the article, run the examples in the examples
directory. The notebook validate_Nallusamy_et_al.ipynb
compares the models with the experimental data from the Nallusamy et al (2007) article, while the script mesh_refinement.py
runs a convergence study on the model. The figures are saved in the figures
directory.
The package is not yet available on PyPI so it needs to be installed from the source code. These instructions assume that you have a compatible Python version installed (between 3.9 and 3.12).
First clone the repository, either from the command line or using a Git client:
git clone [email protected]:mmsg-warwick/encapsulated-LTES.git
If you do not have nox installed, install it with
python3 -m pip install nox
Then, navigate to the repository you just cloned and run
nox -s dev
This will create a virtual environment called venv
in your current directory and install the package in editable mode with all the development dependencies. To activate the virtual environment, run
source env/bin/activate
You can now run the examples in the examples
directory.
If needed, you can deactivate your virtual environment with
deactivate

nox -s dev
This will create a virtual environment called venv
in your current directory and install the package in editable mode with all the development dependencies. To activate the virtual environment, run
venv\Scripts\activate.bat
if you are using Command Prompt, or
venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
if you are using PowerShell.
You can now run the examples in the examples
directory.
