Thermal energy storage in general, and phase change materials (PCMs) in particular, have
been a main topic in research for the last 20 years, but although the information is …

The thermal energy storage (TES) system for building cooling applications is a promising
technology that is continuously improving. The TES system can balance the energy demand …

Integration of the phase change materials (PCM) into the external building walls is an
efficient method for reduction of energy consumption and regulation of energy demands due …

In this paper, thermal behaviour in a vertical and horizontal shell-and-tube energy storage
system using phase change materials (PCMs) is investigated and compared using a …

The aim of this paper is to study the potential of two heat transfer enhancement techniques,
namely adding fins and hybrid nanoparticle (Cu and Al 2 O 3), for improvement of the …

This paper deals with the application of PCM as the assumed coolant in the case of
photovoltaic applications. A simplified numerical model was developed to be able to analyze …

The primary objective of the present paper is to examine the combined effect of a uniform
magnetic field and nanoparticle volume fraction on the melting process of copper-water (ice) …

Energy storage helps in waste management, environmental protection, saving of fossil fuels,
cost effectiveness, and sustainable growth. Phase change material (PCM) is a substance …

Thermal resistance of ice slows down the charging/discharging process of ice storage
systems which results in long operating cycles and thus high energy consumption. To …

This paper presents a numerical model for melting of wax in a vertical cylinder. Two different
approaches are investigated, one of them does not simulate the volumetric expansion of …
