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

Phase change materials (PCMs) can regulate the temperature in asphalt pavement and
minimize temperature-related problems, such as rutting and thermal cracking, because of …

Finite Difference Methods in Heat Transfer, Second Edition focuses on finite difference
methods and their application to the solution of heat transfer problems. Such methods are …

Numerical simulation of melting processes is known to be tricky yet due to new application
fields they raise again the attention of both, researchers and engineers. Several approaches …

We present a two-phase multiscale solidification model, which accounts for coupled heat,
mass, solute and momentum transfer and notably describes the motion of globular equiaxed …

Accumulating solar and/or environmental heat in walls of apartment buildings or houses is a
way to level-out daily temperature differences and significantly cut back on energy demands …

In this paper we present a numerical study of the fluid flow during directional solidification of
a binary alloy (Pb85wt% Sn) in presence of a forced convection. The latter is driven by a …

Creation of new alloys through in-situ alloying in additive manufacturing is being actively
explored to improve the properties and performance of manufactured parts. Multiphysics …

Latent heat storage using phase change material (PCM) has become one of the most viable
solutions to mediate the climatic deficiency of light weight structures. Instead of expensive …

The simulation of phase change was an essential issue in the numerical modeling of latent
heat storage. This current study compared the enthalpy method, the linear non-phase field …
