TL;DR: The use of a latent heat storage system using phase change materials (PCMs) is an effective way of storing thermal energy and has the advantages of high energy storage density and the isothermal nature of the storage process.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the various designs, details of construction and operational principles of the wide variety of practically realized designs of solar-energy drying systems reported previously is presented in this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, the changes in latent heat of fusion and melting temperature of commercial grade acetamide, stearic acid and paraffin wax have been studied in the accelerated thermal cycle tests.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of cooling techniques for solar photovoltaic (PV) cells is presented, which includes natural and forced air cooling, hydraulic cooling, heat pipe cooling, cooling with phase change materials and thermoelectric cooling of PV panels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have carried out the numerical investigation for the melting of graphene nano-particles dispersed phase change materials (PCM) filled in an aluminum square cavity heated from one side, and showed that the addition of graphene nanoparticles increases melting rate but can also hamper the convection heat transfer within large cavities.
