🎓 FREE SESSION | Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in ANSYS Fluent – Session 1
#PhaseChangeMaterials #PCM #ANSYSFluent
Welcome to the first FREE session of the **Phase Change Materials (PCMs) Course in ANSYS Fluent**, presented by CFDLAND.
In this introductory session, you will build a *strong conceptual foundation* for understanding phase change materials, their thermal behavior, and why they play a critical role in modern energy and thermal management systems.
🔥 In this session, you will learn:
✅ What Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are
✅ How PCMs store and release thermal energy
✅ Sensible heat vs. latent heat (with clear physical explanation)
✅ Why temperature remains constant during phase change
✅ Real-world engineering applications of PCMs
✅ How PCMs improve energy efficiency and renewable energy systems
✅ Overview of CFD modeling and simulation of PCMs
✅ How ANSYS Fluent is used for melting & solidification problems
