The present review provides an overview and critical analysis of recently published
simulation approaches and experimental studies addressing the phase change hysteresis …

Nowadays, buildings are expected to offer demand side services to the power grid to
enhance the electrical load flexibility, which leads to the concepts of grid-interactive efficient …

Phase change material (PCM) experiencing supercooling and phase change hysteresis are
widely reported in the literature. However, only few studies model analytically such PCM …

Wood fiber is a great potential supportive material for creating a new composite the phase
change materials (PCM) due to its beneficial qualities, including high sorption competency …

This review presents a first state-of-the-art for latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES)
operating with a simultaneous charging-discharging process (SCD). These systems …

A rate-independent hysteresis model originally proposed by Ivshin and Pence (1994) is
extended to describe thermal hysteresis in enthalpy, specific heat capacity and phase …

Solid–liquid phase transitions in phase change materials (PCM) usually exhibit a complex
dynamics, which critically determines the performance of latent heat thermal energy storage …

Technical-grade and mixed solid–liquid phase change materials (PCM's), such as
commercial paraffins, can show a complex non-isothermal phase transition behavior …

As an efficient energy storage material, phase change material can be combined with
lightweight buildings to reduce the energy consumption of the building envelopes effectively …
