Journal ArticleDOI
Phase change material thermal energy storage systems for cooling applications in buildings: A review
Khaireldin Faraj,Mahmoud Khaled,Mahmoud Khaled,Jalal Faraj,Jalal Faraj,Farouk Hachem,Cathy Castelain +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of different phase change materials (PCM) cooling applications in buildings and present a summary of the used PCM and their respective properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of chaotic advection on heat transfer
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effects of chaotic advection on heat transfer at low Reynolds numbers, and they showed that chaotic trajectories substantially homogenize and enhances heating and that the homogeneity of heating is almost independent of the Reynolds number.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on phase change materials for thermal energy storage in buildings: Heating and hybrid applications
Khaireldin Faraj,Mahmoud Khaled,Mahmoud Khaled,Jalal Faraj,Jalal Faraj,Farouk Hachem,Cathy Castelain +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of thermal energy storage systems using PCM technology for buildings is presented, where the authors highlight the promising effectiveness of PCM in building heating applications, and highlight the significance of the PCM system hybridization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluid flow and convective heat transfer in flat microchannels
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the design, construction and instrumentation of an experimental microchannel, with a rectangular cross-section and large aspect ratio, that allows characterization of the flow and convective heat transfer under well defined and precise conditions and makes it possible to vary the hydraulic diameter of the microchannel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Residence time distribution in twisted pipe flows: helically coiled system and chaotic system
TL;DR: In this paper, residence time distributions in a helically coiled tube and a spatially chaotic system are compared by modeling the residence time distribution, experimentally determined by means of a two-measurement-point technique, using the axial dispersion plug-flow model.
