ABSTRACT


A mathematical model of cool-thermal discharge systems with melt removal has been developed and studied theoretically to simulate the outlet temperature of the chilled air produced during on-peak power-consumption hours. Equations have been derived for estimating the thickness of the airflow velocity, the thickness of melted ice and the total amount of cool thermal flux during the operating process with a specified inlet air temperature or outlet air temperature. Numerical examples have been illustrated in which either the inlet air temperature or outlet air temperature was specified, and the results of cool-thermal discharge fluxes have been also discussed.
