Integration passive solar ventilation system with phase
change materials
Abstract: -
A phase change material (PCM) is a material with an extraordinary temperature of combination which, melting and
setting at a correct temperature. It is proficient of keeping and discharging large quantities of energy. Heat is captivated
or free when the substantial changes from compact to liquefied and vice versa. PCMs are stable as latent heat storage
(LHS) units. This plan has its impartial in generating a new appreciative of participating PCMs with
solar airing systems and discovery the associations between them in instruction to strategy an ideal
method. The main steps assumed in the assignment comprise works evaluation, investigation and
hypothetical demonstrating. The phases in this assignment include investigates to establish the
connection between solar freshening systems and PCMs. In this assignment, we discuss the
necessary details of PCM and also discuss the classifications of PCM like organic and inorganic
PCM. To well categorize the standards of PCMs separated their standards into four separate groups.
This scheme of arrangement contains physical, kinetic, thermal and chemical properties. In this
assignment, we try to discuss the Types of solar ventilation like thermal ventilation and other
passive ventilation. There are some effects of solar radiation on system performance like air flow,
fluid temperature, solar energy etc. It also intensive on studies connected to different categories of
airing systems that are well-matched with PCMs. The numerous significant restrictions in the SV-
PCM classification like melting point, charging period and discharging period, heat flux were
identifying. In this project, we elaborate some mathematical models. The planned model in this scheme
is constructed on comprehensive energy equilibrium method to originate the temporary scientific
model of the system. This model is explaining by Gaussian iterative technique. The authentication
of this model will be achieve. Once the investigate set-up will be assembled. In this project, we also
discuss the heat balance equation, which is mainly describe the fix layer PCM temperature. In the
MATLAB flow, we also observe computational air flow rate temperature. Mostly we discuss some
conceptual design like a first, second, third. In an early conceptual design, it is related to the solar radiation
and PCM system. Second Conceptual design was initiated with the Heat reducing neweffect. Last conceptual
model it describes the funnel presented, which is designing by fluctuating the typical roof ventilation
process. At the end of this project, we set up some future work in mathematical process and also
logical process. For completion of this assignment, we are very much thankful for two software like
AutoCAD for structure drawing and MATLAB for numerical calculation.

1 INTRODUCTION.
1.1 Background.
The solar ventilation system creates convective air flow using solar radiation and is a natural
process. Under this system, the excess heat from the indoors is dissipating as the air from the
interiors of the rooms and buildings are extracted. During summers, the usage of electricity is more,
as the ventilation of the premises requires amole considerable amount of cooling. Moreover, to cope
up with Australia's climate that includes high humidity and temperature demands for more cooling
of the building interiors. Therefore, the solar ventilation system is given more emphasis to enhance
cost reduction. The energy used by air conditioning systems is being reduced. But this system has
two main drawbacks. Firstly, the collectors get overheated due to the sun's radiation and can result
in a decrease in air flow. Secondly, the system does not work in the night for obvious reasons. As a
solution to these issues, PCMs can be introduced to increase the system's performance.
According to the different situations, MATLAB will be used in different types and sizes of PCMs.
To evaluate the performance of the system over changing conditions and over time, the
mathematical model will be using. A model of a PCM enhanced solar ventilation system would be
creating and verified. To assist the analysis, a similar model without PCM will also be designed to
serve as a control system.
The models will be examined to confirm if the PCM can be used to enhance the working time of the
solar ventilation system. But the correlations between the PCM and the solar ventilation system is
unknown. The objective of the project is to find these correlations and the design parameters that
are required, for instance, temperature, type and size of PCM to apply in the integrated systems in
various applications. The project aims in improving the performance and design of the optimum
system.
1.2 Aims and Specific Project Objectives.
There are three aims of undertaking the project. The first aim is understanding the correlation
between the PCMs and solar ventilation. The Second one is constructing an experimental set-up
which will be testing indoor. And the Third one is building mathematical model.
1.3 Deliverables and Expected Outcomes.
The expected outcomes of this project are:
1. The appropriate correlation between the PCMs and the solar ventilation system will be
identified..
2. The performance, operational time and design of the optimum system will be further
improved.
3. The experimental set-up of a solar ventilation system that is integrating with PCMs will be
created.
4. Mathematical model of the experimental set-up will be written.

1.4 Project Scope and limits
The project will follow several procedures and processes beginning with integrating of the latent
heat storage materials of a ventilation system thereby improving the performance of the system and
mathematical model. The mathematical model will be using to compare its results with the
experiment results. After validating the model, the outputs will be using for various applications.
This project does not include in itself the active solar ventilation system.
There are three limitations of the project. One is the time. The project is estimated to be completed
throughout two semesters. Therefore, each task must be done in a determined time and must follow
the project's plans. Since the project plans to experiment on many different specimens. However,
the time may not be sufficient to cover the whole experiment, so it is expecting that throughout the
project at least one samples have to be experienced and the computer programing will be
simulating. The second limitation is the budget. The project's cost is specified and samples and
since the price of the materials used for the project should not exceed the budget of the project,
there is a chance that it might affect the quality of the prototype constructed. These materials could
be relatively expensive.
The third limitation is designed. The designs are to be select according to the scope of the project.
The scope of the project cannot be subjected to any change without the approval of the supervisor.
