Anders Smith,Christian R.H. Bahl,Rasmus Bjørk,Kurt Engelbrecht,Kaspar Kirstein Nielsen,Nini Pryds +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the phenomenology and fundamental thermodynamics of magnetocaloric materials are discussed, as well as the hysteresis behavior often found in first-order materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
TauFactor: An open-source application for calculating tortuosity factors from tomographic data
TL;DR: TauFactor is a MatLab application for efficiently calculating the tortuosity factor, as well as volume fractions, surface areas and triple phase boundary densities, from image based microstructural data, without requiring high computational power.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on experience feedback and numerical modeling of packed-bed thermal energy storage systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the key aspects of packed-bed thermal energy storage systems and compare the performance of different types of thermal storage systems, including two-tank molten salt technology and thermal stratification.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Prediction of the Emissivity and Thermal Conductivity of Powder Beds
Samuel Sumin Sih,Joel W. Barlow +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for estimating the emissivity of the surface of a powder bed by knowing only the bed porosity and its solid emissivities is presented, and the model is compared with experimental measurements for powder beds of alumina, silicon carbide, and iron.

Predicting the Performance of an Active Magnetic Regenerator Refrigerator Used for Space Cooling and Refrigeration
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model capable of predicting the practical limits of active magnetic regenerative refrigeration (AMRR) systems is presented, which treats the regenerator bed as a one-dimensional matrix of magnetic material with a spatial variation in Curie temperature and, therefore, magnetic properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simplified modeling of active magnetic regenerators
Thomas Burdyny,Andrew Rowe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simplified model for predicting the general trends of active magnetic regenerator devices is presented, where the regenerator has sufficiently high convective interaction such that a one-phase regenerator approximation is sufficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal performance analysis and optimization of multiple stage latent heat storage unit based on entransy theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a one dimensional transient model for HTF and PCM capsules is developed to predict the cold storage performance of a cascaded cold storage unit, and the thermal resistance based upon entransy dissipation is also derived as a criterion to optimize the system.
Beyond local equilibrium : relaxing local equilibrium assumptions in multiphase flow in porous media
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a toolbox of models and methods allowing the study of local non-equilibrium effects in multiphase flow in porous media based on a pore-network model.
Diffusion in zeolites : towards a microscopic understanding
TL;DR: A submitted manuscript is the author's version of the article upon submission and before peer-review as mentioned in this paper, and the final published version features the final layout of the paper including the volume, issue and page numbers.
