Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Thermal energy storage using phase change material plays a major role to solve the mismatch between energy demand and supply. In this study, the effect of the inner elliptic tube aspect ratio of a double-pipe latent heat thermal storage unit and its inclination angle is numerically and experimentally investigated. The 3D numerical model is developed using ANSYS FLUENT 17.2 and the finite volume method with the enthalpy-porosity technique under the same mass of PCM and the area of heat transfer while altering the aspect ratio. The predictions of the numerical model were compared favorably with the corresponding experimental results. Temperature distribution, velocity vectors, melt fraction, and total melting times are numerically investigated. Results show that the inclination angle at which minimum melting time takes place depends on the aspect ratio of the inner elliptic tube. The minimum total melting time for aspect ratios of 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1 occurs at inclination angles of 30°, 45°, 75°, and 90° respectively. Furthermore; the optimized condition was with an aspect ratio of 0.4 and an inclination angle of 30°.
