Thermal energy storage is at the height of its popularity to harvest, store, and save energy for
short-term or long-term use in new energy generation systems. It is forecasted that the global …

In the quest for alternatives for fossil fuels, phase change materials (PCMs) have attracted
considerable attention due to their ability to store renewable thermal energy. Compared to …

Nano fluids are widely used today for various energy-related applications such as coolants,
refrigerants, and fuel additives. New coolants and design modifications are being explored …

In view of energy security and environmental concern, the performance of refrigeration
system needs to be improved, which can be done by modifying either the systems or the …

This study presents the development of form-stable eutectic mixtures, modified with
nanoscale structures for enhanced thermal performance. These additives may result in the …

Solar energy is intermittent, resulting in a discrepancy between the solar energy supply and
building energy demand. Salt hydrate phase change material (PCM) is a promising material …

Two brown coals from China were dewatered under hydrothermal dewatering (HTD)
conditions at 250–320° C for 1h in a 2L autoclave. The hydrothermally dewatered products …

Freezing processes have long been employed for the preservation of foods, providing
minimum nutrition loss with a long shelf life period. Freezing plays an essential role in …

The aim of this study was to develop a stable water emulsion-based phase change material
(PCM), with low viscosity, for solar thermal applications. The effects of different non-ionic …

This study aimed to investigate the solidification behavior of water dispersed with graphene
nanoplatelets (GNPs) in a spherical container during solidification. The nanofluid phase …
