This paper aims to explore how and where phase change materials (PCMs) are used in
passive latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems, and to present an overview of …

The use of a latent heat storage system using phase change materials (PCMs) is an effective
way of storing thermal energy and has the advantages of high-energy storage density and …

Energy storage components improve the energy efficiency of systems by reducing the
mismatch between supply and demand. For this purpose, phase-change materials are …

Thermal energy storage (TES) has the capability to absorb, store and release heat based on
dynamic surrounding environmental conditions. Sensible energy storage captures or …

We present a front-tracking method to simulate time dependent two-dimensional dendritic
solidification of pure substances. The method is based on a finite difference approximation …

This paper presents the first results of a benchmark problem concerning the simulation of
coupled natural convection and melting from an isothermal vertical wall. The exercise is …

A latent heat storage system has been designed to take advantage of the off-peak electrical
energy for space heating. Using an enthalpy formation and a fully implicit finite difference …

Waste thermal energy (heat) is the second type of energy to be discussed. Usually, it is
generated in a process by way of fuel combustion or chemical reaction, and then “dumped” …
