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.

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.
