Sensible heat thermal storage systems store energy in a medium to which heat is added or
removed, providing a simple, cost-effective, and easy-to-control for energy storage. The …

The present research work is part of a desire to provide additional and necessary
knowledge for the development of thermal storage technology. In concentrating solar power …

Application of different heat transfer augmentation techniques, including the use of fins or
foams, were investigated to enhance the melting rate of a solid phase change material …

The aim of this paper is to shorten the melting/solidification time of a high-temperature phase
change material (PCM) using graphite foam inserts. Specifically, the phase change …

To overcome the inherent poor thermal conductivity of most phase change materials (PCM),
inserting highly thermally conductive wire nets with periodic structures into them have been …

The large-scale use of sustainable energy necessitates the use of latent heat storage (LHS).
This study aims to increase the melting performance of an LHS system by designing and …

The flow of heat to and from Phase Change Materials (PCMs) is governed by the
temperature differences. One of the most viable passive strategy to enhance temperature …

In this paper, the mechanical and thermal properties of a sand-clay ceramic with additives
coal bottom ash (CBA) waste from incinerator coal power plant are investigated to develop …

The study addresses the potential of using concentrated solar power plants (CSPs) as a
sustainable alternative of clean energy generation in the Mediterranean region and, in …

Small-scale concentrated solar power systems have a higher levelized cost of electricity
than large-scale systems. Therefore, this‎ study aims to evaluate small-scale concentrated …
