ABSTRACT
Spread of novel coronavirus across the globe creates panic situations internationally. Major challenge of this pandemic situation is the absence of a specific treatment or vaccine for curing the disease. As per published report of WHO, temperature above 55 ° C is potentially kill Corona virus. This study focuses on design a water heating system that could provide water above the required temperature with minimal input power even during the off-sunshine hours. The thermal performance of Phase Change Material (PCM) integrated solar water heating system providing water temperature above 56 ° C both during the day and the off sunshine hours has been discussed in this present study. The phase change behaviour of paraffin-wax-6035 confined within a copper tube of 100 mm diameter and 1000 mm length and 1 mm thickness, has been studied using CFD analysis. The analysis is carried out for three different cases viz. conventional solar water heating system, modified solar water heating system integrated with bare PCM tube and finned PCM tube of 1 mm fin thickness. The thermal storage capacity of solar water heater is compared based on the thermal storage capacity factor which is calculated to be 1.1149 & 1.1586 for bare PCM tube and finned PCM tube case, respectively with respect to the conventional solar water heater.
