(2Wm1K1[5]).
In the PCM heat exchanger, the PCM will be sandwiched between coolant and twophase refrigerant streams (Figure 3). The
coolant stream will transport heat from the direct energy weapon to the PCM heat exchanger, where it is either stored or, if
possible, rejected to the twophase refrigerant. However, the weapon must be maintained at 30C, and therefore, the coolant
streammuststaybelowthistemperature.

portionofthePCMmeltswhenithasahighthermalconductivity(Figure7B).SimilartolowthermalconductivityPCM,themean
location of the melt front in a PCM layer tends toward y = 0, and a slightly larger portion of the PCM layer melts as the melt
temperature increases. Unlike low thermal conductivity PCM, the mean location of the melt front, and therefore, the melt
temperature,dramaticallyaffectstheamountofPCMthatmeltsduringapulse.Atamelttemperatureof285K,themeltregionis
boundedbythetopofthemodeldomain(theheatexchangerplateincontactwiththerefrigerantstream),whichlimitsthequantity

The melt fronts clearly explain why high thermal conductivity PCM requires far fewer layers than low conductivity PCM: the

Finally,theamountofheatstoredsensiblywithinthePCMwasdetermined.First,theheattransferredtotherefrigerantduringa

thetotalamountofheatappliedduringapulse(Qmax *10%duty)todeterminetheamountofheatstoredwithinthePCMduringa

0.2Wm1K1PCM(Figure9A),approximately54%oftheheatappliedduringapulseisrejectedtothevaporcompressionsystem

increasesfrom28%to40%atmelttemperaturesof280and295K,respectively,whilethepercentageofheatstoredsensibly
decreasesfrom18%to5.2%atthesamemelttemperatures.Consequently,alargertemperaturegradientdevelopswithinthe

theappliedheatisstoredsensiblywithinthePCMsinceaphasechangedoesnotoccur.Atamelttemperatureof285K,6.8%of
the remaining heat is stored latently, while 6.7% is stored sensibly. It is somewhat perplexing that the amount of heat stored
sensibly increases as the melt temperature increases while the number of required PCM layers does not change (both melt
temperatures required at least 0.14876 normalized layers). This trend was also observed in other high thermal conductivity
configurationsandcanbeattributedtotheappreciableamountofPCMthatmeltsduringapulse,whichdramaticallyaffectsthe
