Paraffin wax mixtures as phase change materials
TL;DR: In this article, the phase change process of the binary mixture takes place over a temperature range and the temperature range depends on both the heating rate and the mixture composition, and the proposed study shows also that for the same concentration of tetradecane and using various heating rates, they will be able to predict the solidus and liquidus temperature of binary mixture from DSC curves.

Solidification of a PCM with nanoparticles in triplex-tube thermal energy storage system
TL;DR: In this paper, a time-dependent simulation of the entire solidification process was carried out for different nanoparticle loadings under constant charging temperatures of the heat transfer fluid (HTF), and the results showed that dispersing alumina nanoparticles of volumetric concentrations of 3-8% results in total time saving between 8% and 20%.
