Abstract: Infiltration of phase change materials (PCM) into highly conductive porous structures effectively enhances the thermal conductivity and phase change (solidification and melting) characteristics of the resulting thermal ...

Abstract: Development of the solid–liquid interface, distribution of the particle concentration field, as well as the development of thermosolutal convection during solidification of colloidal suspensions in a differentially heated ...

Abstract: Nanostructureenhanced phase change materials (NePCM) have been widely studied in recent years due to their enhanced thermal conductivity and improved charge/discharge in thermal energy storage applications. In this study, ...

Abstract: Phase change of paraffin in a hemicylindrical storage unit is investigated numerically and experimentally. The predicted findings are confirmed by comparison with the experimental results of the present work. Good agreements ...
