The following article overviews recent studies regarding heat transfer enhancement
methods, explicitly focusing on fins and coils utilization, in phase change material-based …

Dispersing thermally conductive nanostructures is an effective method to improve the
thermal performance of phase change materials (PCMs). For this purpose, nanocarbons …

This research investigates a 3-D double-pipe helical coil heat exchanger containing Phase-
Change Material (PCM) as a thermal storage system in solar water heaters. A concentric …

Phase change materials (PCMs) have gained much attention due to their high ratio of
energy density to mass and their near isothermal behaviour during melting and …

Latent heat energy storage systems have superior features over conventional sensible
storage systems. With a large latent heat of fusion, a phase change material (PCM) can …

In this paper, the melting (charging) and solidification (discharging) processes of a Phase
Change Material (PCM) in a helical coiled tube heat exchanger as a thermal energy storage …

In latent heat storage (LHS), the melting of phase change material depends on the flow path
of the heat transfer fluid (HTF). The helical path is one of the most effective arrangements for …

Global warming, and the energy crisis, both caused by the unregulated overconsumption of
fossil fuels, are some of the main problems humanity has to face along with freshwater …

The main challenge ahead of widespread application of renewable energy sources is their
availability intermittence preventing continuous power supply. In order to circumvent the …

The thermal energy storage properties of a working fluid can be modified by the exothermic
and endothermic adsorption and desorption of fluid molecules in the micro/nanoporous …
