The cost of renewable energy has significantly decreased in recent years, which marks the
way towards a fully renewable and sustainable future. However, this energy transition is not …

The current research examines how increasing the thickness of the phase change material
(PCM) layer impacts the thermal and economic behavior of the hybrid sensible-latent heat …

In the current study, a 2-D concentric dispersion model with apparent heat capacity method
was developed in order to investigate the thermal reactions of a solar system with thermal …

A mathematical model of the charging process for a structured packed-bed latent thermal
energy storage unit with phase change material capsules is established. The thermal …

A highly efficient receiver is required because re-radiation loss increases dramatically with
increased working temperature. Among a large number of receivers, the fixed-bed Particle …

Heating accounts for approximately 50% of all final energy consumption worldwide. To
decarbonise heating, renewable energy sources must be employed. To account for …

To advance sustainable development and emission reduction efforts within the maritime
industry, a novel combined cooling, heating, power, and storage (CCHPS) system is …

Phase change material (PCM) microcapsules are gaining increasing attention because it
can overcome the shortage of PCM macrocapsules and increase the heat transfer area …

This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of radiation effects on the thermal behavior
of a packed bed using a discrete model for heat transfers integrating a novel method called …

Packed-bed thermal energy storage (PBTES) systems are cost-effective when natural rocks
and industrial by-products are used as filler materials. In addition, its combination with …
