Building construction deserves many attentions due to its huge energy consumption, while
Phase Change Materials (PCMs) provide positive solutions for improving energy efficiency …

Phase change materials (PCM) are considered promising tools for storing a high density of
thermal energy in heat storage systems. The inherent low thermal conductivity of PCM can …

This paper provides a review of the solid–liquid phase change materials (PCMs) for latent
heat thermal energy storage (LHTES). The commonly used solid–liquid PCMs and their …

Dead zone (s), the slowest region of solid PCM to melt or liquid PCM to solidify, occurs
naturally in latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems. The dead zone forms due …

To reduce the freezing time for a unit with curved walls which filled with water, nanoparticles
has been dispersed. The shapes of CuO nano-powder can affect the conductivity of mixture …

The application of latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) technology in solar energy
systems is greatly restricted by the poor thermal conductivity of the phase change materials …

Abstract Photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) panels are devices commonly used for the conversion
of solar energy into heat and electricity. The use of phase change materials (PCMs) can …

A comprehensive study was conducted to analyse the effect of fin material on PCM melting
in a rectangular enclosure. Four commonly employed indicators, surface averaged Nusselt …

We numerically investigate the phase change melting enhancement in a latent heat thermal
energy storage (LHTES) unit by arranging the internal double-fin length. The schemes for …

In the present study, a vertically oriented rectangular-shaped enclosure with triangular
shaped double fins filled with PCM was considered as a Latent Thermal Energy Storage …
