...Marhama Jelita; Habibis Saleh Purpose Optimizing thermal management in systems with multiple heat sources, such as in electronics cooling, requires innovative coolants. Nano-encapsulated phase change materials (NEPCMs) offer superior thermal energy storage via latent heat, but their interaction...

... and thermal efficiency of PCM-based energy storage systems to facilitate the design of more efficient energy storage solutions. Design/methodology/approach The analysis is conducted on a top-heated rectangular thermal system filled with pure PCM and nanoparticle-enhanced PCM (NePCM) mixed with 0.01% Wt...

... and energy storage. Numerical investigations were conducted on six novel models of PCM-based hybrid MCHSs using ANSYS-FLUENT. The hydrothermal characteristics of six PCM-based hybrid MCHS models were analyzed and compared with an MCHS model without PCM. Findings The numerical model used for this study...

...Burak Kiyak; Hakan Fehmi Oztop; Ishak Gökhan Aksoy Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of inclination angle on the thermal energy storage capability of a phase change material (PCM) within a disc-shaped container. Different container materials are also tested...

...Bartosz Ziegler; Jędrzej Mosiężny; Paweł Czyżewski Purpose The aim of this study is to identify key factors limiting efficiency of pumped heat energy storage systems and determine some general features of transient behavior of solid state, sensible heat storages. Moreover, it aimed at establishing...

...-PCM panel is higher than 7.3 per cent annually. Kant et al. (2016) have suggested that PV panels connected to each other by means of PCMs are applicable solutions because of their high-energy storage intensity. Moreover, they have analyzed the detailed heat transfer of a PV panel connected...
