Abstract
The present paper presents a further proof of the special role that close-contact melting (CCM) can play in thermal energy storage units and finned systems in general. It is demonstrated that the fins, when properly designed and oriented, induce CCM in their vicinity, leading to a very significant increase in the melting rate.
