Many strategies have been attempted for accomplishing the needed changes in the heat-
transfer rate in closed cavities in recent years. Some strategies used include the addition of …

Over the past two decades, latent thermal energy storage has been a proven technology to
improve the performance of refrigeration appliances. In this work, an up to date literature …

Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems are attractive for bridging the energy
supply and demand gap. In such systems, reducing storage time is critical, especially for …

The present numerical study analyzes the melting behavior of three different phase change
materials namely Lauric acid, paraffin wax and n-Octadecane placed in trapezoidal-shaped …

Cold energy storage devices are widely used for coping with the mismatch between thermal
energy production and demand. These devices can store cold thermal energy and return it …

Latent thermal energy storage, employing phase-change materials, has been traditionally
