Thermal conductivity of water Ih-ice measured with transient hot-wires of different lengths
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the wire-length dependence of transient hot-wire calorimetry, a technique generally used to measure the thermal conductivity of materials, in particular, a measurement protocol that includes the use of a calibration fluid that was designed for wires of reduced lengths; so as to reliably apply the transient hotwire method to materials exhibiting a solid-liquid phase transition as a function of temperature.

Experimental Evaluation of a Latent Heat Thermal Storage Unit Integrated Into a Flat Plate Solar Collector as Temperature Stabilizer
Mario Palacio,Mauricio Carmona +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, temperature stabilization effect provided by PCM containers integrated into a flat plate solar collector during its daytime operation is experimentally analyzed, and it was observed that using PCM reduce the fluctuation in water outlet temperature and absorber plate temperature due to solar radiation reduction, in fact, temperature variations were 55 % and 49.8 % lower compared with test without PCM.

Thermal energy storage using sodium sulfate decahydrate and water
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.
