Modeling and impacts of the latent heat of phase change and specific heat for phase change materials
Applied Physics Letters, 2018 We model the latent heats of crystallization and fusion in phase change materials with a unified latent heat of phase change, ensuring energy conservation by coupling the heat of phase change with amorphous and crystalline specific heats. We demonstrate the model with 2-D finite element simulations of Ge2Sb2Te5 and find that the heat of phase change ...

Thermal Energy Storage with Phase Change Materials, 2021
Energy storage in the walls, ceiling and floor of buildings may be enhanced by encapsulating suitable phase change materials (PCMs) within these surfaces to capture solar energy directly and increase human comfort by decreasing the frequency of internal ...

Increasing Phase Change Latent Heat of Stearic Acid via Nanocapsule Interface Confinement
The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2013Latent heat of phase change materials (PCMs) has long been regarded as constant. In this work, it is found that this parameter can be altered when they are in nanoscale. We designed and assembled a nanocapsule-confinement system with stearic acid (SA) sealed in silica nanoshells to investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of their phase transition ...

Controlled Latent Heat Phase-Change Microcapsules for Temperature Regulation
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2023Microencapsulation of phase-change materials (PCMs) is of great value and significance for improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Here, highly controllable phase-change microcapsules (PCMCs) with hexadecane as the core material and polyurea as the shell material were developed for precise temperature regulation.

In this study, a latent heat storage unit and built-in condenser were integrated with a solar still. Storage of dissipated latent heat of vapor during the day and using it after sunset prolongs system operation. During the day, the entire solar radiation

Latent heat storage through phase change materials
Resonance, 2015Energy requirement is increasing day-by-day for all of us. Though the major demand comes in the form of electrical energy for domestic as well as the industrial sector, some of this demand can be reduced by appropriately utilizing thermal energy available via solar radiation. Phase change material (commonly known as PCM), which has become an attractive

Solid/Liquid Phase Change Heat Transfer in Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage
ASME 2009 3rd International Conference on Energy Sustainability, Volume 2, 2009Phase change materials (PCMs) have been widely used for thermal energy storage systems due to their capability of storing and releasing large amounts of energy with a small volume and a moderate temperature variation. Most PCMs suffer the common problem of low thermal conductivity, being around 0.2 and 0.5 for paraffin and inorganic salts, respectively,
