TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the state of the art in phase change materials for thermal energy storage is presented, with a focus on the effect of isomorphism in minimizing subcooling.

TL;DR: In this article, a near-isothermal modification to the original compressed gas energy storage prototype system is proposed, which uses hydraulic machines for expansion/compression, above-ground pressure vessels as the storage medium, spray cooling/heating, and waste-heat utilization.

TL;DR: In this article, a steady state thermoelectric (TE) heat pump dryer model was presented, and validated against results from an experimental prototype. But the model was not able to replicate the experimental results within 5% of EF and 5% dry time values.

TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-open absorption system architecture was proposed for water heating, where the absorbed water vapor is then liberated in a desorber and subsequently condensed in a condenser, while its latent heat is transferred to the process water.

TL;DR: In this paper, synthetic zeolite/water was implemented into a 3-kW adsorption chiller test facility driven by hot water at 70°C, and cyclic steady state parametric studies were experimentally conducted to evaluate the chiller's performance, resulting in a cooling coefficient of performance ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 at different operating conditions.
