Assessment of latent heat thermal storage systems operating with multiple phase change materials

Journal of Energy Storage, 2019
Latent heat thermal storage (LHTS) systems employing phase change materials (PCMs) offer several advantages compared to sensible heat storage units. However, they exhibit an inherent poor thermal performance owing to poor heat transfer, poor thermal ...

Study on Phase-Change Temperature and Latent Heat of Organic Phase-Change Nano-Fluid

Advanced Materials Research, 2010
Nano-aluminum, which has high thermal conductivity and good compatibility, was added into paraffin to improve its thermal conductivity. Surface modified technology was adopted and dispersant was used to prepare uniform and stable organic phase-change nano-fluid of paraffin and nano-aluminum.

Latent heat storage system by using phase change materials and their application

Materials Today: Proceedings, 2022
Abstract Due to the rapid exploitation of fossil fuels, energy sources are becoming nonrenewable, and there is a need to develop other technologies to provide a clean supply of energy. The heat is stored in the thermal storage unit utilizing phase change materials in one of two ways: sensible heat or latent heat.

High Latent Heat and Recyclable Phase-Change Materials for Photothermoelectric Conversion

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
Realizing organic phase-change material networks with excellent recyclability while maintaining high latent heat still faces great challenges due to the difficult trade-off between network composition. Herein, the high latent heat and recyclable phase-change materials (RPCMs) were developed by integrating linear poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) multimers as

NUMERICAL RESOLUTION OF A PHASE CHANGE PROBLEM WITH ZERO LATENT HEAT

Numerical Heat Transfer, Part B: Fundamentals, 1990
Two numerical methods to simulate Ike behavior of a class offree-boundary thermal systems are presented and compared. The state of the system is governed by the conduction equation, where an isotherm defines the moving boundary for which a Neumann condition is considered. Unlike the classical Stefan problem, the moving boundary velocity does not appear
