Abstract
The present paper has dealt with the natural convection heat transfer in a melted liquid layer appeared in the inclined rectanglar latent heat storage vessel having one heating wall with plate fins The effects of plate fin length, inclination angle of the rectangular vessel and heat wall temperature on the melting behavior of paraffin wax as a latent heat storage material and natural convection heat transfer were investigated experimentally under a heat storage process. As a result, non-dimentional correlation equations of natural convection heat transfer were derived in terms of some non-dimentional parameters.
