  Please help me to do a numerical simulation of melting and solidification of PCM with convection in 3D geometry.

  is melting/solidification model is sufficient for the analysis? how to give property values for wax at solid and fluid form? can you send a base model analysis output ,

  Maybe? How about you start by explaining what you're trying to model? Then check the tutorials in the Fluent documentation (click on Help and go from there).

  a cylindrical metal container with a small tube at the centre. through the centre tube, hot water is flowing and the space between the pipe is filled with wax in solid-state. this is my base model

  Sir, can you help me to analyze the model with CFD, if you can send me the output file, I know, it's not right to act those help. sorry really its a mini project with time constraints of 1 month

  So, you'll need to look at VOF multiphase (water & wax) as the two phases. Then look at the solidification/melting model for the wax.
  
  We don't provide models, and certainly won't be doing your project for you: the software & our input are to help you learn.
