A numerical simulation of heat and fluid flow for predicting the effect of passage arrangement in automotive heat battery has been performed. The system is assumed to be a two-dimensional laminar flow and isothermal boundary is applied to the surface of the latent heat storage vessel. In the case of ideal heat battery the flow rate into each flow passage is evenly distributed. The various models are considered in the view of pressure drop and bulk temperature. The effects on the efficiency of the heat battery are examined by varying geometrical factors such as flow passage clearance, length of a inlet and outlet tank and the length of a latent heat storage vessel. The flow clearance is a very important -factor on the efficiency of a heat battery. As the flow passage clearance becomes narrow, the flow distribution becomes uniform and the bulk temperature increases, however the pressure drop is large. Therefore, optimal flow passage clearance has to be chosen. The present work can be used in optimizing heat battery efficiency.
