In the present study, eutectic salt (50 wt% NaNO , 50 wt% KNO ) with a melting temperature of 3 3 about 220 °C is employed as the PCM for the middle-temperature solar energy application, and the heat transfer characteristics of the molten-salt in a LTES unit with and without heat transfer enhancement were experimentally and numerically investigated. Various heating temperatures of 240 °C, 250 °C, and 260 °C and cooling temperatures of 30 °C, 70 °C, and 110 °C were employed in the study, so as to extensively reveal the heat transfer characteristics during heat storage and retrieval. It is found that natural convection is very dominant during heat storage in the case of pure molten-salt, especially when the heating temperature is higher, and it is weakened in the case of molten-salt with metal foam; while the heat r
