The present study deals with the heat storage characteristics of the inclined rectangular vessel packed with spape-stabilized paraffin plates as a latent heat storage material by numerical analysis. It was found that the heat storage characteristics were remarkedly affected by the inclination angle of the rectangular vessel and the heat transfer medium flow direction, due to the presence of natural convection in the fluid flow channel between the paraffin plates. Numerical results revealed flow patterns, temperature profiles and heat storage characteristics for various inclination angles, inlet velocities and temperatures of the heat transfer medium fluid, and widths of the fluid flow channel.
