Testing method of phase change temperature and heat of inorganic high temperature phase change materials

TL;DR: An analytical temperature model and an enthalpy difference function, based on the lumped parameter method and assumption of rectangular effective specific heat, are presented in this article, where an automated test equipment is designed to measure and record the T-history curves of the PCMs and "Valley, Bottom, and peak" and "Peak, Top, and Valley" criteria are proposed to select the starting temperature of phase-changing process (TS), the ending temperature (TE) and the melting point (Tm) of thePCMs.

Thermal energy storage using sodium sulfate decahydrate and water

Dipak R. Biswas
- 01 Jan 1977 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the major problem preventing use of sodium sulfate decahydrate for thermal energy storage can be avoided by using the composition which is at or slightly to the water-rich side of the invariant point in the phase diagram.

Thermal energy storage for solar heating and off-peak air conditioning

TL;DR: Parametric designs for two latent heat materials (sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate and a paraffin wax) and for a sensible heat material (a 1:1 mixture of water and ethylene glycol) were compared as to cost, performance, and space requirements.

An investigation of the thermal energy storage capacity of Glauber's salt with respect to thermal cycling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the thermal energy storage capacity of the unthickened mixture to the thickened mixture as a function of thermal cycling and showed a significant improvement in performance of the thinnened mixture over that of the Glauber's salt and borax mixture.
