In this paper, melting and solidification processes in the shell-and-tube type latent thermal
energy storage (LTES) with longitudinal fins have been numerically studied in order to …

Gas-phase solar receivers use atmospheric or pressurised gas as their heat transfer fluid
(HTF). The ideal gas-phase receiver would provide high thermal efficiency and high HTF …

A few tank failure accidents in the concentrated solar power plant have occurred in recent
years, resulting in huge economic losses. In the present study, thermal and mechanical …

The study is focused on the heat transfer enhancement method for a latent heat thermal
energy storage (LHTES) system with the three-stage axially cascaded multi-phase change …

The energy efficiency of traditional PCM wall is low in summer since the PCM storing heat in
the daytime will become a secondary heat-source and release the heat into the room again …
