Phase change material (PCM) is widely known as latent heat storage. A comprehensive
study is carried out to investigate the effect of PCM on heat transfer rate of building materials.
Paraffin is used as PCM along with different conventional building materials to investigate
the heat transfer rate from the heated region to the cold region. PCM is placed along with the
three different types of building materials like plaster which is well know building material in
urban areas and wood and straw which are commonly used in rural areas for roofing as well …
