The effects of radiative heat transfer during the melting process of a high temperature phase change material confined in a spherical shell
(Elsevier Ltd., 2015-01-15)The influence of radiation heat transfer during the phase change process of a storage material has been numerically analyzed in this study. Emphasis has been placed on the thermal characterization of a single constituent ... -
Life cycle inventory and performance analysis of phase change materials for thermal energy storages
(Springer Nature, 2021-05-29)Solar energy is a renewable energy that requires a storage medium for efective usage. Phase change materials (PCMs) successfully store thermal energy from solar energy. The material-level life cycle assessment (LCA) plays ... -
Multi-mode heat transfer analysis during freezing of storage medium
(Elsevier Ltd., 2015-05)Simultaneous conduction, convection and thermal radiation have been analyzed during the freezing of a non-opaque, non-gray phase change material (PCM) encapsulated in a closed spherical container and heated at relatively ... -
Salt hydrates as phase change materials for photovoltaics thermal management
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-11-10)Recently, phase change materials (PCMs) are acquiring much attention for the overall enhancement of photovoltaic (PV) systems' performance, because of their extraordinary property in temperature management. Many researchers ...
